Sweet card -- I love Koalas almost as much as I do monkeys! Did you enjoy your stitching on the card? I think it adds an awful lot to the look of a card. I hope you'll hop along with me another time ... TYFS!

Sarah,

Congratulations on your first blog hop!!! :) I love your card! How do you like your hand-held sewing machine?! I bought a Janome Sew Mini and I couldn't even thread the bobbin...I ended up sticking with my bigger Viking.
