Hi every one, i hope you all had a wonderful weekend.... I'd actually scheduled this post for Sunday evening but had to alter it, to share my good news....before i 
show you my WOJ creation for this weeks challenge, i have two pieces of news to share with you... i am so excited... Ashley our son got into University so in September ours will be a very quiet and tidy house..LOL we are so proud of him, it was something we thought he'd given up on, then he applied recently and got into his first choice, he's still waiting on four other replies from UCAS then he'll make a decision on which one to attend.... WoooooooHooooo we are so happy and proud of 
him...
certain person, she knows who she is, she always makes me feel good about my work... and has encouraged me to go for this...OMG i am so happy... Emma just let me know I'll be joining in with the February kit over at Ribbon Mad, you'll have to be really quick if you want one, when they go on sale they sell out incredibly fast... the kits consist of 16 meters of ribbon, (organza, satin, ric rac patterned ribbon etc) and coordinating embellishments all sent to you in an organza gift bag, postage on these kits is free so at £10 they really are a 
bargain..Kits are on sale during the last week of each month... so make a visit here from Monday to see the new kit... 
first lot came out.. and because I've been poorly i didn't get to use them, well now I'm going to make up for it...Don't forget you only have until 26th January 09 to pre-order the new WOJ Spring Kit it is a bargain for a sheet of 10 stamps, why not use the link and give them a try.. you won't regret it....This weeks challenge over at WOJ is a sketch from lovely Katharina.. I love love love her sketches.. I decided on making the center circle on this one an aperture.. what do you
think...? did it turn out OK....? I used BG papers from the UP kit and stitched them to a card made from Bazzill CS with a matching SU punched scalloped edge.. i also used matching glazed and painted brads from the Basic Grey UP Kit.......this gorgeous lace is the last i have....awwww.. it's from Hobby Craft..hopefully i can get Ash to fetch me more this week... i changed the sketch around so it is on 
it's side... i thought it would work better with the aperture.. the gorgeous little charm came from my wonderful friend Moni... thank you sweetie.. the sentiment is from my new Unity Monthly Kit... i love these stamps, I've been having the monthly kit for the last six or seven months.. they are just so delicious...i cut it out using nestabilities then used the largest of the circles to cut the aperture in the card..the little pearly circles were from eBay... i just sent some of these to a friend.. they come on a stalk, i just cut it off to create this sentiment... On to the inside of my card... again i used my new Unity Stamps Kit... there is a 
swirl in the new kit and it worked perfectly inside this card... I took two pieces of plain BG DP and stitched around the edges, then stamped onto the top and bottom edges using an SU Classic stamp pad Tempting Turquoise from my lovely friend Claudia... thank you so much sweetie, i know loving these colours together I'll use it a lot.....For the image, i used Melinda Blowing Kisses... isn't she just the sweetest..i coloured her using my original copics and promarkers..(no where near as good as the queen of colour but i was happy with it for me anyway..hehehe) she was cut out using the nestabilities again and i then stitched the lace around the outside of the circle using my old faithful....the back of the card has the same turquoise DP with stamping all of the way around the outside of the panel... sorry the picture was blurred...
Well that is my first WOJ Challenge... i hope you like it....
I've also had some amazing gifts, cards and images and a card from lovely Caz this weekend...
This week i got a very unexpected parcel from my Friend Carole...it had this most gorgeous card, using the Angel Of The Year... she is so sweet...Just look at that colouring and the gorgeous pin.... Carole i love this and the stash you sent me is absolutely yummy..... those papers are so elegant....what a lucky girl i am... watch out for those papers, I'll be creating something this week with them...
MY amazing friend Moni... sent me a very unexpected box..she told me she was sending me some of my favourite images.. but this box arrived and it contained some wonderful 
images and lots and lots of chocolate..... Moni thank you so much sweetie Mark & Ash have had a whale of a weekend with it....i would show you a picture of the chocolate but they broke into it as soon i it arrived on Saturday, you would think they'd never eaten chocolate before.. Amazing how chocolate sends men mad.....they do love the chocolate Moni sends though...hehehe My darling friend always sends me the most amazing cards.... I've already framed five in box frames, and now i have to buy two more... one for Moni's and one for Carole's Gorgeous. creation.. if you are asking your self why is she framing all of these cards... well my favourite cards are going onto my new Craft Room Wall.... it's going to be very fresh so I'm framing cards and pages, I'll have a small cork space but it will be to pop on going projects onto.... you'll have to wait until May then I'll show you pictures of what my 
Darling Darling Hubby did for me.....
I also got this adorable card from Caz.... along with some wonderful images.. she picks one of the ladies who commented on her blog each week and sends out images they'd like, well i loved these little critters... thank you so much Caz.. i love them.....
