Happy New Year

A Happy 2010 to everyone!!! May the New Year bring you much happiness.

This is another card that I will send out to a friend as an 'instead-of' card, because I have missed sending her a Christmas card...hee hee.

I've used this wonderful sketch of Barb's that she has provide for Sunday Sketch & Stamp challenge #18.

The following challenges have similar themes, so I am also using this card as my entry into their challenges:

Stamp With Fun Challenge #39 - Happy New Year,
Everybody-Art-Challenge Challenge #71 - Happy New Year,
Lili of the Valley Challenge #43 - Happy New Year,
Stampin' for the Weekend - New Beginnings,

Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge #1 - New, and
Cupcake Craft Challenges Challenge #71 - A Time for Celebration.

I have used the Silent Night Tilda image from the Magnolia's 2009 So Jolly, So Snowy, & Under the Mistletoe collection. I have put the year 2010 on what is supposed to be a ball of poinsettias that Tilda is carrying at the top of that pole. And I've added lots and lots of glitter to this card.

Thanks for visiting. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Stamps: Magnolia Silent Night Tilda (can be purchased from Magnolia-licious), MSE clear stamp set Holiday Sentiments.
DP's: Coordinating paper from the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses Collection: Starry Night, Village and Frost.
Tools: Marvy Uchida, McGill and Martha Stewart daisy punches--different sizes, McGill twig punch, EK Success leave punch.

Misc.: Recollections Autumn pearls, Studio G rhinestones.

  11. Dear Norma

    No matter what you do, everything just becomes beautiful. I very much love your New Year's card. Your colouring is again amazing and the papers are gorgeous. Did you made the flowers on your own or did you bought them? They are fantastic.

    Hope all is fine with you and that you had a good start into 2010!

    BIG hugs
