Welcome to the New Year's Thank You card blog hop - Saturday!

Hi!  Welcome to day 2 of the New Years Thank You Card Blog Hop!  Glad you're joining us.  If you're back for day 2 of the hop, you can skip down to the card image..

If today is your first day in the hop, be sure to read this post and the post below that (for my other card)...

If you got lots of presents for Christmas that you need to write Thank you's for, here's a great place to get some ideas.  I know I have quite a few to do...

This is the first stop in the blog hop.  There are a total of 35 blogs participating, so grab your favorite drink (an iced skinny cinnamon dolce latte for me) and sit back and enjoy the hop.  I did a quick peak on Friday to check all the links - and liked what I saw - but I am hoping to sit down on New Years Day & hop through them all...   You'll want to be sure to come back again on Sunday, since some of the participants will be posting multiple cards over the course of the weekend!

If you're new to my blog, be sure to become a follower.  Crafty Card Gallery is an iPhone app (works on iPad & iPod Touch) that is a card gallery for handmade cards.  You can follow great designers, and look for ideas.  It's a great app, and will be coming soon to Android Phones...  (probably early January)

You can get it from the iTunes App Store here

On to the card....

A few weeks ago, I found an image for a free digi stamp online.  It was so cute & cheerful I knew I needed to make it a card....

The image is from http://dragonsmoore.blogspot.com/2010/12/its-snowing-kitty-digi-stamp-3896.html

The paper is bo-bunny (from the same line as the day before) with glitter paper in the background.  I colored the kitty with stampin up watercolor crayons and used isopropyl alcohol (found the tip on Operation Write Home's blog).  I used stickles on the snow dots.  The punches and stamp are Stampin Up.  I embossed the green paper with swiss dots embossing folder and the blue scallop punch with swirls.
