A card, an award and exciting news!

I've been working flat out on my special project these last few weeks, and finally finished it the other day! It's ready to be sent off, though I hate to part with it (I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like that about something that's taken a lot of time, effort and of course love to make, right? ;o)) Anyway, did manage to squeeze in another card, this time with an Ismaki Challenge layout and an old(ish) Magnolia stamp. We tend to forget the older stamps as more and more Magnolias come out, faster and faster it seems, but they're all jewels and we shouldn't neglect the oldies really should we ;o)


Anyway, meet Sad Sybil...she's blushing like crazy because she's done something very stupid and now she has to tell her parents and that makes her very sad... Her mom gave her the money for her college books and room rent and some other stuff, and she went and spent it all at the mall, on new college clothes and fabulous shoes and handbags and make-up and well, everything a girl needs really! So unless she can find a Saturday job that pays, like, a gazillion bucks an hour, she's really got to confess all and hope her parents can forgive her...poor Sybil, life ain't easy when you're a teenager is it ;o)


I received this fabulous award from Sandra, Lia and Elisabeth, along with some very sweet words: thank you girls, you've made my week! I will nominate my favourite blogs later this weekend, just gonna have a think about it, so many to choose from!

And now for the most exciting news: my friend Moon and I are starting a challenge blog! The first challenge has been set (for the DT anyway) and examples have been made (apart from me, it's gonna be one of those last-minute things, let's hope inspiration doesn't desert me now ;o)) and we're all really excited :D! We're "going live" on Monday, 15 September, which is when I'll put a link in the right-hand column on this blog and you can click through to the challenge blog! Is this exciting or what, I can't wait!

Have a nice weekend!
