Happy 2020! May we all get 20:20 vision in this year before it is too late!

What a week!

Well, what a few months really but the last week was such a terrible time for so many.
My heart is bleeding for those who have lost loved ones, homes and animals 
in the country I love so much.
It is also so sore dealing with the loss of so much wildlife especially the now endangered koala.

Please keep safe Peeps.

We are currently safe and cool and look like remaining so for a while. 
The 30th Dec. was not so good - temperatures here in Hobart got to 41 degrees
I was hosting a birthday party for my husband - boy was it hot!

Now we are into January 2020
A New Year - so, new beginnings!

I am happy to announce that I am on a new Design Team


The January challenge is:

Anything Goes 
with Optional Twist: CAS

This challenge is being sponsored by Bugaboo
It's a long time since I used one of their gorgeous and quirky digi stamps
but they are still of great quality and price!

This one is called 

Cat Love


Of course, I went to Word and using Insert, put the image onto a blank sheet 
and make it the size I wanted to play with by enlarging it a little


Once I had the printed off image, I used a die from Memory Box to create a
sentiment across the top.

I also cut a piece of SU Bermuda Bay card to fit behind the sentiment.
Once this was done I joined the two together with some double sided tape


Next, I added colour using my trusted Copic pens.
They are all there - I only used 6!


Next I stamped using Archieval Black ink and a sentiment stamp
from Stampin' Up - new from this year's Sale-A-Bration (starting February) Sending You Thoughts.

I then added the topper to a blank card, leaving a white margin


Well - simple, CAS I hope and fun to make!

(My cat currently has a sore tail - how funny is that!)

You have the rest of the month to have a go and enter this challenge
See you there!


I will enter this in the following challenges:

2 crafty critter Crazies: have a critter (Jan challenge)
Southern Girls: Anything Goes
Crafty Catz: Anything Goes with a Twist of having an animal

So so sorry for all the loss, humans, animals and plants. :( Really horrible and sad. Praying for some rain in your zone, it could hel a bit.
Your card is a delight. Congrats for your new Teamie!
Hugs
