Morning and Happy Saturday!

Howdy peeps this is so cool, I have been so excited for this post, Kyra owner of Kith and Kin stamps has based  this stamp on me, how awesome is that, yes its Cowgirl Karen, yeehaw!!  Regular followers to me little blog will know I am rather partial to a cowgirl/boy image so I am totally made up with this.  I am of course a sassy cowgirl, got a little glint in me eye and check out those boots.  Seriously I think it is pretty amazing that Kyra has done this from just a couple of  lousy mug shots! Thank you Kyra so much! Of course as its me I made the card in all my favourite things, pink and brown, that gorgeous floral oval and lush flowers!!!!  Hope you like her.........
