HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

 My goodness, where did the last year go? It was a busy one for me with several cruises, several trips back east to settle my father-in-law into a new home and sell the old one.  These trips also include a few visits to see the twins and Jordy, and,  we had a visit from a very special friend. I have had time to reconnect with family and friends over the past year and also to get back to my passion - card making (paper crafting)!  

 

 I'm really looking forward to a wonderful 2014! So, to begin the New Year off right, I have a card for you. This time I have used Mo's Digital Pencil image, "Bella and Bronte Sledding" I really need to get back to making Christmas cards on a regular basis. I had none to send out this year except the store bought ones. So without further ado, here is my card.

 

I'm sorry to say that I have no idea what paper I used on this card or the copic colors I used to color the image.  Actually this card front was made a long time ago and I just now have had the time to finish the inside.  I know I'm the ONLY ONE who ever does this!  Yeah, right!

 

 

 

 

The little tag with the big ribbon is removable.  Below is a picy of the tag removed.

The sentiment on the little circle is from Cuddly Buddly while the Joyeux Noel is from AmyR Stamps. 

 

 

 

 

 

 Here is a close up of the image:  

 

 

 

I don't often make my cards to open from side to side.  Usually I make them tent style.  So I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried it.  Whew, I had a hard time getting this just right.  The Sentiment is digital from Nana Vic's collection.  I went searching the web for some Christmas sentiments and hers were the ones I liked the best. 

 

 

 

 

And finally, the lopsided, cockeyed ARTSY view of my card.  :-)

 

 

So there we have it.  My first posting on the very first of the new year.

 

I wish you all the very best in the coming year.  May your New Year Resolutions come true.

 

Blessings to all,

Hugs and Grins
