Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Pesky Critters!

This week we have an extra special Penny Black Saturday Challenge for you...because the PBSC is 3 years old today!!!

The theme for this week's challenge is:

'Pesky Critters'
So, show us your adorable Penny Black critters.

We have a mega stash of fabulous prizes from our lovely regular sponsors to help us celebrate:


From Penny Black Inc - A Penny Black Stamp


From PB Stamps - A 'T for Transparent' set of the winner's choice


From 1-2-3- Stitch! - A $20 Voucher


From The Ribbon Girl - A bundle of goodies including: Divine Twine, Seam Binding Ribbon, Buttons, Organza & Satin Ribbon, and Hat Pins


And, from Fantastic Ribbons - a gorgeous mixture of designer ribbons in a special dispenser box!

Phew...what a lot of lovely prizes!!!

But...there's a catch...they're hidden on the DT members' blogs...and we're not telling you which ones! ;0)
So...in order to win, as well as entering this week's challenge, you need to 'hop' around all of my lovely DT buddies' blogs, and leave them some love...and don't forget to leave me a comment too...because...you never know???
Ok...so on to my card...I had a rummage through my stamped images box for some 'peksky critters'...and I thought that these cute little mice playing on the typewriter fitted the bill. The stamp is called 'Cheesecake Message'...I added a sentiment and paw prints from the 'Micey Day' set. The papers and the die cut border are from the 'Ooh La La (for Him)' collection...I distressed the edges a little, and added faux stitching. The seam binding ribbon and yellow flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the spotty flower is from a Making Memories pack, the brads are BasicGrey, and the Card Candi was 'custom coloured' using a chalk inkpad.


For more inspiration...and the chance to win one of the fabulous prizes on offer this week...please visit my lovely Penny Black Saturday Challenge DT buddies...here are the links to all their blogs:
