Another Friday and another new challenge at QKR Stampede! Our theme is always "Anything Goes" and you can win some of the cutest images anywhere in the digital (or rubber, if you prefer) world.
Today I want to have a brief discussion about New Year Resolutions. Each and every year, we all get subtle 'nags' about making new resolutions for living our lives in the upcoming year but we all know that the resolutions will get broken within the first week (ok, maybe some will last a whole month if we make our resolutions easy and non-stressful) and then we can overwhelm ourselves with guilt for not sticking to them. What's the point?
Here's what I think should be done with New Year Resolutions!
Write them down, share them with NOBODY, put them into a bottle, and toss them into the ocean (or any nearby body of water where they can sink to the bottom and be lost forever.)
This QKR image is called "Wish in a Bottle" and I've been meaning to use it for over a year now. See, I should have made using it one of my New Year Resolutions last year and it might have gotten done more quickly. :-D
I colored with ProMarkers and watercolors, then cut the image with a simple, square die from QuicKutz. I wrapped it with sparkly, sheer ribbon and tied a 5-loop bow with the help of my bow maker. The white 'flowers and leaf flourish' was cut with a Memory Box die. I printed the sentiment, hand cut it with scissors, and mounted it on dimensional dots.
Challenges:

Craft-Dee BowZ
Creative Knockouts

One more week and my routine will be back to normal with all the holidays out of the way. There will be some big changes coming up in the new year and they have nothing to do with resolutions! I hope you're going to play along with us this week. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
