Hiya everyone,

I hope that you all had a good Valentines day yesterday.  The hubby and I went out for a bite to eat and watched the Woman in black at the cinema.  It was totally awesome and scary in a very understated way as it leaves everything to the imagination.  I have a very vivid imagination and scared myself stupid! Lol  It was a toss up between that and the muppets but I decided that as we very rarely get to go to the cinema that the Woman in black would be the best on a big screen. 

Anyhoo, back to the featured card which is this little cutie made by

Kim 

from kraftyk's krafty kards blog

I do love these little hedgies and have quite a few myself!  Just a lovely simple, stylish card Kim.

Changes to the Challenge blog!!!

Hiya everyone,

I just thought I'd keep you updated on upcoming changes to the Joanna Sheen Challenge Blog.  From 1st April we will be changing to a bi-weekly challenge that will change to a new challenge every other sunday.  This means there will be far more challenges for you to enter.  The monthly prize will be split from a £30 monthly prize to a £15 prize for every challenge but there will be far more chances to win!

The design team will be split into 2 teams so that team A will make something for the first challenge and team B will make something for the 2nd challenge and will alternate every other challenge. 

We will still be posting the daily featured cards that you all love so much and will still be doing the weekly candy. 

We are also going to adding to our information section and the step-by-step tutorials.

I hope you are as excited about the fab changes as we all are and that you'll continue to join in the fun!

If any of you can think of anything else that would improve our blog then please don't hesitate to add a comment and let us know!
