New year, new beginnings

Our new challenge theme over at

TAG TUESDAY

has been chosen by Valerie and she wants

New Year/New Beginnings,

so plenty of options there!!

I decided to go with a new baby tag.

I used Places in the Heart stamp set

for both the image and sentiment.

Backed onto flirty flamingo card and finished

with a gem and a ribbon.

Have a purrrrrfect Christmas!

I have been patiently waiting on this stamp arriving and was

nearly giving up hope but it came!!

I had ordered it specifically to make my daughter's Christmas card

as she has 3 cats she recently adopted (mad I know lol).

This set will be available to buy in January in the new mini catalogue

and it's called Love Cats.

I used picture this dies for the background,

stamped the  cats and cut them out so I could

slip them in where I thought would work.

One of them is hiding behind the others tail lol. Happy accident!!

I finished with two sentiments and a little

ribbon to give the stars somewhere to hang!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas day

with lots of  family and friends near you.

Thanks so much for all your generous support

throughout the year. It is sincerely appreciated!!

We are due to have our family get together tomorrow night

but so many in the family are now down with flu.

Poor wee Finbar, who was very sick two weeks ago,

has had a relapse and it has spread to all the family.

There is just so many bugs and covid going around again.

Stay safe out there.

I have one more post tomorrow before I sign off for Christmas.

Thanks for sticking by me!!
