Black and White Birthday

 Morning and we have a new ATG/Black and White challenge at A Place to Start. I found a ready  stamped image  from AALL&Create and two last scraps of black and white paper been in the box for years and think I received them in a card swap, a Tonic die-cut sentiment and done.

Been absent this week so hope to catch up with you all soon, and thank you to those who messaged asking if I was okay-really appreciate it and for the beautiful wool and card Janette.


Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

  22. As much as I love color it's funny how I really love black and white cards, too! When the stamp is such a beautiful illustration it shows the detail so nicely. I haven't posted this month at all and am running behind in visiting. I'm glad you're okay. Sometimes there are so many other things to do!

  37. Carol, thank you for all your kind comments on my blog. I appreciate them so much!! Your card in this post is super. I struggle making cards for teen boys, so you inspired me with your football theme. And you used so many bits and pieces that came together perfectly! I know what you mean about struggling to get a good picture of mirri card. I've taken SO many pictures of cards made with mirri card that I have never shown on my blog--not because the cards looked bad, but because the photos were terrible! lol
