When Dreams Come True....

 Hello again....

I have some amazing news to tell you but first a card using a never before tried technique of stamping through a stencil which is this months challenge over at the  CAS Mix Up
 

And my card...

I honestly hadn't intended to enter this one but I needed another guy card so I used a mountain stencil and a favourite postal stamp which I've had for years... 


As you can see I did a few 'layers' of mountains and then re-positioned the stencil to stamp and emboss the postal stamp. A little bit of dottie tape and another sentiment and it's good to go... Where to?
Well that's the amazing news...
 
I told you in my previous post that Ross had passed his exams despite all odds and yesterday his dream came true... He has always been interested in all things space related and believe me there is nothing that boy can't tell you,  he's even been known to correct his teachers on the facts. Well, a couple of days ago he got an interview at Stafford Uni and following that he took a call from Collins Aerospace who were so blown away by his knowledge (their words) that they have offered him a 4 year engineering degree apprenticeship!!
To say I am ecstatic is an understatement, I have cried buckets. With all his disabilities as well as losing his Dad when he was only 3, Ross has defied the odds and never gave up on his dream and obtained one of only 10 places available in the whole of the UK.
So this is another card for him, I am feeling so blessed right now, and just had to let you know.

I need a tissue...
