A thank you card

Wow! It feels like forever since I posted anything crafty at all... for this I apologise!
So, onto what I've been up to.... I've been working a whole lot more than what I used to, due to a transfer closer to home, with a store that needs more people.... Other than that, I have been studying... I have an exam on Thursday, that I'm so not looking forward to.... I've been staying at my friend Mark's house.... where I'm going to be moving to at the end of the year, so to make the transition slowly, Mark bought me a rescue cat!

Meet Tobias, he gets Toby for short. Sorry this isn't a great picture, he was hiding in a box, and this was taken with a flash, hence those eyes.... He also is not that ginger... he is more a caramel colour. He was bought to keep Mark's cat Tommy friends.... and he has settled in wonderfully. 

My parents came back from Japan about a week ago (maybe more, I've lost track of time), and some people I had met while I was over there back in 2004, bought me a few gifts.... so, that's what this card is for. To thank the girls who I met briefly in 2004, for remembering me and sending me some adorable gifts!

I used:

• Kraft Card stock (Stampin' Up!)
• Prima Flowers
• Cosmo Cricket lettering
• October Afternoon Patterned paper
• Button, Ribbon and Brad from stash
• Sketch from Krestina Werner design
