May challenge

Welcome to out May challenge with some more great prizes up for grabs and a new theme which this month has a bit of a double take................

*******Sew Special********

It can be some stitching on your creation be it real of faux, something for that someone 'sew special', or it can incorporate both, the choice is totally yours, all we ask is that you use a stamped image as the focal point of your creation or a Penny Black Stickeroo, stamps can be any make but please remember no digi images as entries using them will be discounted from the prize draws.

Lots of fabulous prizes on offer again, first three from  Penny Black who have recently releases some great new stamps which you can check out here.

We are pleased to have Crafts U Love with us again this month, they sell a huge range of dies including all the latest releases, so do pop on over to their store and take a look at their huge selection. Their prize is a £15 voucher to spend at their store.

Next up is another regular sponsor Flonzcraft, if you are not familiar with their stamps then you must check out their fabulous range of quality Vintage inspired images at extremely good prices. They are offering one lucky winner a $20 spend at their store as well as a 12% discount to entrants of our challenge - just add "Penny Black and More entrant" in the comment section when placing your order.

And of course there is as always an extra prize for the entry selected from those using a Penny Black image !

Morning to you all, a rather rushed post here I'm afraid, with my mind on other things the last couple of weeks I almost forgot to schedule this post for today, so I will get straight to the inspirational pieces of artwork the Design Team have created following this months theme of Blossoms and Bows here.

April challenge

Time for a new challenge here at Penny Black and more and this month we have a bit of Springtime theme..............

********Blossoms and Bows*********

How easy is that as most of us like a few flowers on our cards and lots of us are ribbon addicts so we hope you enjoy the theme as much as the DT have. The basic challenge rules remain the same, the focal element of your creation must be a stamped image but you can use any make of stamp and as always any entries using a digi stamp will not be eligible for the prizes on offer.

And here are our wonderful sponsors for April, as always our grateful thanks to them all for their continued support of our challenge.

Next we welcome back Classy Crafts an on line store offering a huge range of products, latest arrivals include Spellbinders dies and Nellie Snedden stamps and don't forget that all new customers can get a 10% discount off their first order - use the code "first order" (no quotes) in the discount coupon box during the checkout process to claim your discount. (Offer excludes the Silhouette Cameo, and quotes for special orders).They are offering one winner a £10 voucher for an on line shop at their store. 

Next Crafty Ribbons a ribbon emporium, who are passionate about ribbons and want to share our fantastic ribbons with others. Our range of Christmas ribbons is second to none. Remember when we only used ribbons to add a bow to our hair, or tie up a birthday parcel ?  Ribbons are now a "must-have" for all types of craft.  Whether your project requires satin, sheer, silk, grosgrain, gingham or polka dot ribbon we have them all!  Lots and lots of different colours in a range of widths. Need a little bit of ribbon inspiration - then have a look at our projects on our blog,or visit our Inspiration blog,or maybe join in with us at our Challenge blog.  Go on, have a look... It's worth it !

 And the prizes from our own Penny Black:

And last but not lease, the prize for the entry using a Penny Black stamp.

Plus don't forget our extra prize, we will be selecting someone from this months entrants to join us as our Guest Designer in June.

You don't need to do anything as we will be keeping our beady eyes on all the months entries and will announce the lucky persons name along with the other prize winners at the end of the month.
