Hello Friends, Are you still recovering from watching the Super Bowl? I didn’t really see any stand out commercials but, I didn’t get to watch it all. We had a small crowd for soup, chili and toasted cornbread. What did you all of you state side do tonight?
If you haven’t see the NEW 2011 Spring Penny Black Catalog you can see it on line now. Here is the link. If you have then you must be aware of some big news….Penny Black now has dyed paper with a slight texture look to it. It looks sort of like suede does with an ever so subtle texture look. I Love the colors and I can’t wait to get my hands on some more. 
Just a quick mention….all of these stamps and papers are NOT in the stores quite yet. Keep your eyes on Shopatron because now you can get all things Penny Black from Shopatron!! Here is that link.
This paisley background is my hands down favorite and I find myself reaching for it constantly. IF you take a closer look at the cover of the new catalog you will find each of these new background stamps. I would love to know if you spotted them š
As for this flower I used the new PB paper but, if you are into distressing here is another one of these flowers that I cut more fringe and inked it up instead. 
These turquoise paper are my favorites and I could use them everyday just like I could eat pizza everyday! (I don’t though š ) This card is super simple for me but, I wanted to showcase the background stamp. Again you will see the same stamp on the cover of the catalog. I threw on a antique pin cause I didn’t know what else to do. I need my colored images ya’ know.
Have a great night and thanks so much for stopping by to see what’s up. Hugs, Kathy
P.S. Only ONE day left to put your name on the list for my blog candy if you haven’t yet. Here is the link and best of luck. I have some more stamps to give away real soon.
