Penny Black Challenge

Well good day to you all out there in blogland.... and thank you so much for the lovely messages you have left me since my last posting... very much appreciated... and thank goodness you were all there to let me get it off my chest as I'm trying not to burden poor hubby with my feelings on it....
Alas, today is the dawn of a new day & by heck this credit crunch is not going to pull me down anymore... so how better to start the day than tackling this weeks Penny Black Challenge of "Get Well Soon"....


For this little card I used Basic Grey Sugared papers, self adhesive ribbon from Cardology, letter embellishments are Laura Ashley & flowers are from my stash... my little hedgie is water coloured using Bruynzeel Aquarel pencils.
A bit of a moody card with some pink pushing it's way through helping to lift my spirit...
Hope you're all joining in this weeks fun too as I would love to see your creations... well better dash now as hubby wants to go the shopping within the next half hour so may manage to get something else made later on today....
Happy crafting & big hugs
Lorraine xxx
