Penny Black on Saturday Challenge Guest Designer!

How excited do you think I was to be chosen as Guest Designer for Penny Black on Saturday's November challenge??  OH, so excited!  I couldn't have pressed that yes button faster!

Of course, it wouldn't be a challenge without all of you friends and fans of Penny Black now, would it?

November's challenge [like every month] is Anything Goes - but if you're up for an extra challenge option: Make a Scene!  Every set that comes from Penny Black is scene-worthy from my view.  

Take their Bauble Balance for instance... can't you just imagine this cutie juggling his baubles for all their worth?  It's twilight and this little dude is hurrying as fast as his pointy shoes will allow to make it to the village green for decorating the town's Christmas tree!  Of course, there HAD to be snow! lol


Supporting products:
PTI Watercolor Plaid stencil for the blue stripes
ARTplorations Beyond the Trees stencil for the background
PB Bauble Balance for that sweet sentiment
PB Classy Frames
Splattered gouache for snow



Thank you, Helen and the entire PBSC team for inviting me to be your guest designer - such an honor!

So, what do you think?  Are you ready to make a scene?  I can't wait to see your cards at the Penny Black on Saturday Challenge!

Yay for the guest designer honor! It's no wonder with all the PB cuteness you've been sharing! And there's another cutie, marching with his ornaments. Such a delightful scene!

You make a scene in a fantastic way, Michele! This little guy is so cute and what balance he has. I hope he has some help to hang these pretty baubles when he gets to the town Christmas tree. Congratulations on being Guest Designer at PBS this month!

Those soft trees behind your little elf definitely give your scene a wintry feel and the lovely colours of the baubles warm it up nicely. Love the matching stripes too. Congrats on your GD spot. Very well deserved xx

Your elf card is as sweet as can be. Love the background you created for him and the frame is perfect. That sentiment is perfect with that cute little guy.

You always work such magic with these little PB characters, and this one is no exception. I love the way he is happily carrying his load of baubles through the snowy woods. Love the way you fit him in that fab frame and let his cap spill over the edge. The striped base is perfect. Wonderful card, and congrats on your GD spot.

You know I'm a fan... of you AND Penny Black. You've created a story which shows on your card even without your words, but your storytelling does make it more fun! I adore this, Michele! Congrats on your guest spot!
