Morning! I hope your houses and gardens weren't blown away last night - gales were howling outside my window all night!

I'm back!! And with a couple of cards to share!

Hi all! I'm back into the land of blogging! I had a BRILLIANT Hen Do last weekend - thoroughly spoilt, but exhausted afterwards and ended up getting a nasty cold which put me out of action for a couple of days - hence the lack of a card for this weeks Copic Colour Challenge and why this card is so late! It's for this weeks Penny Black Saturday challenge, a fabulous theme in my opinion of Song title/lyrics! The DT have gone all Christmas Carol-y which is so fun! I pulled put this image though and thought 'Just the two of us' by Bill Withers (or Will Smith depending how old you are!!) would fit the bill!
We also have a very special addition to our little team this week, we are joined by the amazingly talented Debby!! Yey! I love everything she does and really struggle to comment on her cards, trying to think of something more interesting other than 'WOWZERS!!!' every time! And she's with us for the whole of November too!
