Happy New Year! And Thank You!

Hello all out there in Blogland - and can I wish you all a happy, healthy and peaceful 2014. Huge apologies for being 'Missing' for the last week but we just seem to have been so busy, visiting family, having family visiting us, etc.  And I've eaten far more than is good for me - I think I need to go on a salad/fruit/water regime for a few weeks (although I seriously doubt that it'll happen....!).

And thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes!  It was my 50th birthday on New Year's Eve - so we had a bit of a party at home with about 15-20 friends to help me mark the occasion!

And the good news is that CraftyCatz challenge is back after a little break over Christmas - and the challenge this week, chosen by our lovely Janette, is 'Thank You'.  We're sponsored by the fabulous Bugaboo digi stamps and I've used one of their images for my card

The image has been coloured with copics and promarkers, and the backing papers are from LOTV.

I've added some stitching, some spotty ribbon from Joanna Sheen and a DooHickey doiley flower die cut. So quite a simple card, but I do like the image and think I'll be making a few of these for friends to thank them for my birthday pressies!  So do pop over to the CraftyCatz Challenge and join us for our first challenge of 2014!

I hope all of you experiencing the awful weather we've been having are keeping safe and warm.

Back soon,

Kim x
