In Times Gone By

Good morning blogging friends, it's a new month for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenge this could be the one for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is Ribbons, Buttons &/or Bows. As Nicecrane is our sponsor this time, the team are using his images.  I adore the one I chose which is Magical Names, but then again I do love vintage.  His images are amazing and he has such a lot of choice.  Some of his images are pre-coloured and some are lined for you to colour yourself.  I chose to colour mine myself with my promarkers.  And to explain with these images, the sentiment scroll is blank and you add a sentiment or a name yourself, which I liked.  You can find the images here:-

And of course, the Design Team have created some stunners to inspire you. Please do pay them a visit to their individual blogs - it means a lot to know you appreciate their efforts.

This is for the following challenges:-
1. A Little Bit Crafty - Celebrate (celebrating Birthday)
2. Crafts 4 Eternity - #157 - Very Vintage
3. Crafty Calendar - Let's Celebrate (celebrating birthday)

And now onto my second challenge creation for Penny black & More @ Allsorts, where the theme is 'Love & Romance',  So you can use your hearts and love images for this challenge.  I used a Transparent stamp of these cute hedgies with roses.  These blank cards were a gift, and I haven't used them before, but did enjoy playing with them.  I couldn't use my DP with them so got inky instead.  I liked how it turned out, I'm always nervous of trying something different.

We have prizes from Penny Black, Crimson Cloud, Crafty Devils and Flonz Craft. Now isn't that a lot of prizes, definitely worth getting your love and romance stamps out isn't it!!!!!!

Now if you would like to be a GDT for us, all you need to do is make a creation to fit the theme following our rule.
