I'm finally back from the Christmas holiday and what a great time I had! Kids and grandkids, in-laws and out-laws, all sharing a wonderful dinner and delightful catch-up conversations. Now the New Year faces us with a promise of great things to come. This card today is a perfect depiction of how I'm going to spend my New Year's Eve -- home with a warm mug of cocoa and a good book. I did all my partying (probably overdid it) throughout my 20s so being home, safe and warm, seems more fun now. :-D
Fairy Tale -- Something Easy (the layout)
Just Inspirational Challenge -- photo inspiration with stripes
Outlawz -- Favorite things (color purple & hot cocoa) plus stripes
Rainbow Lady's Challenge -- Your Choice (anything goes)
Have yourself a fun and safe New Year's Eve and may the upcoming year be blessed with creativity and friends. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
The image is from Little Miss Muffet, for whom I'll be doing a Guest Designer card later this week. Their challenge this week is 'Anything Goes'. The papers are new ones from Stampin' Up. The ribbon, both the sheer and the purple polka dot which I used to tie the bow, are from Really Reasonable Ribbon. The layout was inspired by the card at the CASE Study challenge this week.
I'm going to enter this one into a few challenges. I almost feel like I'm out of practice having been away from the crafting table for so long. :-D
Charisma Cardz -- Anything Goes
Digi Doodle Shop's Best -- Anything Goes
Do You Stack Up? -- Use at least 3 colors; pink, purple, yellow, and whiteFairy Tale -- Something Easy (the layout)
