Penny Black Saturday Challenge....Week 137

Morning folks and it's Saturday...time to join in the fun at Penny Black Saturday.  Lots of fabulous entries last week for Pauline's sketch.....you obviously loved it as much as I did...definitely one to file away and keep for a rainy day.
The challenge this week will probably come as no surprise....yes Valentine's Day is only a little over a week away so it's a great chance to get ahead and get your card made in plenty of time.

LOVE IS.....
and we would like you to complete the phrase either on the front of your card or on the inside
 and the inside


Image: Penny Black...2891J..Heart to Heart
Button: Basic Grey
Hemp Cord: Simply Create
Sentiment: Making Memories Tiny Alpha Black & Anita's Glitterations
I coloured the image with my "on loan from Debbi" Aquamarkers...must admit I struggled a bit after years of using Distress Inks...but hey I am not giving up without a fight....practice...practice...practice is the name of the game and I have a little confession to make.....an absolute first for me....the papers and embellishments are all from a freebie from this month's Simply Cards & Papercrafts.    I would never normally use freebie papers from a magazine....to be truthful they normally end up in the bin but hey I am a big fan of Nitwit Collections and the "In The Meadow" collection in particular and the papers are great quality

The Design Team are so excited this week because we have a very special Guest Designer joining us for the month of February.....none other than
HELEN
a mega talented cardmaker...one the nicest girls in blogland and a big big fan of Penny Blacks....I'm sure I'm right in saying that Helen has joined in every Penny Black Saturday Challenge since we began away back on the 14th June 2008 and in my book that deserves a huge round of applause and a great big hug....so pop over and give Helen the best Penny Black Saturday welcome.

And the prizes this week for 2 lucky winners who will be chosen at random
from

Joie De Vivre 4052K

and from
a bundle of gorgeous ribbons

well folks that's it from me....all you need to do now is pop over to Penny Black Saturday and check out all the fabulous inspiration from the rest of the girls on the team....look forward to seeing what you all create this week and will be popping by for a visit.....in the meantime happy crafting.
See you all tomorrow
