Papertake Weekly Challenge

Morning all and trust me to bleat on about summer being back....well it was short lived and yesterday was one of those bleak and teeming down with rain kind of a days and today looks as though it's going to be the same...so from now I am keeping stume if the sun decides to put it's hat on again.......mind you it does have it's consolations.....no pulling out the hose every evening to give the garden a good drink which brings me nicely onto this week's challenge over at Papertake Weekly.....yes it's......

IN THE GARDEN
a chance to play with one of my new Penny Blacks and isn't he just the cutest dude....



Papers: Jenni Bowlin and Stampin Up
Image: Penny Black.....Hoppy Day
coloured with TH Distress Inks
Mesh..buttons...twine and sentiment from stash

And speaking of cute dudes....Brodie and Oliver are coming to spend the day and playing in the garden is probably going to be out of the question.....so it could be a trip out to the Soft Play Centre to use up some of that excess energy and lunch out as a little treat.
And "His Nibs" will be popping over tomorrow....he's like the proverbial cat that got the cream and there may just be a sneaky peek or two.
