Happy Birthday!

We have such an easy challenge starting today at Passion For Promarkers, there really is no excuse not to join in – the theme is ‘Birthdays’ – I said it was easy didn’t I ? There is some fabulous inspiration on the PFP Blog from the DT and we have a fantastic sponsor: LOTV who are offering the winner a £10 voucher to spend in their online shop. I’m so jealous!!!

The trouble with an nice easy challenge is that there are so many images to choose from and I had a hard time deciding which one to use, however I realised that I’ve been neglecting my Penny Black stash recently and so here is my card. I was quite pleased with my photo – wonders will never cease, lol! I’m not too sure about my wonky ‘stitching’ however!
