    i love Penny Black stamps. I have quite a few. Right now, I am playing with a stamp that has double hearts on stems (Pash 2823K) which has been one of my favorites for awhile. I love hearts! I have been a follower of your blog for a long time.

    What inspiring cards, I really love the first card! My biggest Penny Black love is now Mimi--used to be the hedgehogs, but hey, my shelves have room enough for both of them, lol!

    They are beautiful, very inspiring and clever.

    Both cards are really gorgeous and very inspiring, and shows just exactly what love is all about.
    My favoritOenny Black stamp? That´s a really tough one, as I love sooo many of them. I´ve long wanted to get the Backseat Witch and dressed to scare, but decided, I didn´t really had any chance to use them, as we don´t have Halloween here, but I also just love all the hedgehog- and cowstamps very much. And then they have some pretty awesome sentimentstamps too, so there´s a lot of favorites, I must say LOL.
    Have a great day everyone and lots of fun.

    hard to choose - Bunny Bath or Basket of Smiles plus that love Song, if I have to choose one of those it will have to be Basket of Smiles - really really versatile. If I was to choose a stamp set it would have to be Toadily.

    I'm afraid to browse her stamps incase I see something I like, so I'm not going to enter. I do want to say how great these cards are though. Nice work!

    What a hard question to answer with so any on my wish list, so I will give just a few, and in no particular order , garden slumber, teddy daisy chain, overdressed duck, garden greetings or is that hedgy greetings there are so many I love and covert I can never remember the names and thats before I start on all the fab flowers stamps and sentiments, Penny black just spoils you for choice.I guess I will have to live a couple of hundred years to hav e everything on my wish list and win a lottery jackpot a few times too.

    I love them all, but there's a little one of a doggy holding a present that I probably use the most (Here's one I made earlier!)
