Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year,  I hope 2016 is a year full of sunshine and smiles for everyone.

Down here in the Southern hemisphere it is of course summer and being summer we are on school holidays. We were at the beach for new year.  The weather was wonderful leading up to new year but we woke to torrential rain new years day and it continued non stop for nearly 3 days.  Fortunately the sea is usually very calm where we go but with the bad weather comes waves and warm water.  Given I had four teenagers this year (my two and a friend each) it meant body surfing fun with board games in between.  We came home for a week to recover and catch up on laundry, and then were off again to a different beach.  This time me and 5 teenagers, quite the education,  I learnt a few things I don't think I needed to know,  but then again knowledge is power...right!!

I would like to give a warm welcome to the new followers that have joined me during my absence, it's great to have you here and I hope you pop back often.

My first card to share for 2016 features one of the recently released stamps from Lili of the Valley called Woodland Friends, this is the hedgehog from the set.  I did a little masking so one becomes three,  after all hedgehogs like friends too.  The background paper is from the now discontinued LOTV paper collection Country Meadow (bit sad about that).  I added a little die cut bow and a few enamel dots to finish it off.




Coming soon to LOTV are another 9 new sets of popular trio stamps and these will just fly out the door as, trust me when I say, they are gorgeous.  I will have a sneak later in the week of one of the sets so do pop back.

Thanks for stopping by today.
