PDCC40 and a free download

Time to say goodbye for two weeks - I shall really miss you all in blog world and the inspiration I receive every day from the many blogs and the flickr gallery of Hero Arts.

I'm joining in the PDCC40 challenge this week, colors are black/white and a splash of green.

This is the inspiration picture.

PDCC40

Here is my simple little card - I would really love to win those stamps from Memory box, just beautiful! I held myself to the rules too... just a splash of green, with white and black.

I have edited this post (it's a day later) to offer whoever is interested a free download from something I have had in my possession for many years. Yesterday I got the idea to scan it and use it for the background paper you can see in the card above. It isn't black and white originally, it is colored. So here it is. Of course you have to click on the picture before you right click and download to your computer.




There is no Internet where I am going, but there is a little cyber café on the beach, so I might be popping in.

Have a very lovely holiday season and see you soon!
Blessings,
Jacqueline

  31. Wonderful cards (as allways) since my last visit to your blog. I haven´t been in the mood for card making since I came back from holiday hope it will come back to me ;0) It has been hard starting job after 4 weeks break and when I come home I just enjoy the sun and visit my friends. So for now I just enjoy my blogfriends creations!
    Big hug Sanne
