Congratulations hunny, can you please get in contact via email and send me your addy and I’ll pop the Penny Black stamps in the post to you toot sweet!

Now onto this week’s challenge which is a “shaped card”.

challenge 54- shaped card

In other words – ANYTHING BUT A SQUARE!!  So I have dusted off my old Sizzix dies and gone for a hanging heart “card”.  The papers are from the Sweet Stack by DCWV (yummy) and the sentiment and oval punches are Stampin Up!  Hope to see lots of variation this week and some ideas for different shapes – I’m usually a very safe and square kinda girl myself so am looking forward to this!

Hugs,
