Happy New Year!!!

I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and that you and you families have a Happy and Safe New Year.

I thought I'd share this text that I received-

My wish for you in 2011 ......

May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts.

May the pockets of your jeans become magnets for $100 bills.

May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips.

May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.

May the problems you had forget your home address!

In simple words ....... May 2011 be the best year of your life!!!

I thought I'd also share with you a card that I made while waiting in the new year.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Sunday Sketch 91........

I came across the Sweet Sunday Sketch and thought I'd give it a go.

Here's the sketch -

Now, I don't have any oval die cuts (might have to fix that problem since Stampin' Up do have an oval die for the Big Shot) so I decided to just use a rectangle shape for the center piece.

I'm still trying out a vintage style, don't know that I achieved it *smile* but this is what I came up with -

This card looks so much prettier in real life that in the photo. I've added a little Champagne Mist to the musical notes background so it gives that slight shimmery look. Very pretty.

Thanks for stopping by!

Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #41 again.....

Here I was thinking that I was doing really well completing 2 challenge cards in 2 days. Well how about 2 challenge cards in 1 day?!!! *smile*

My latest Stampin' Up! order arrived this morning with my new Happiness Shared stamp set. This set is perfect for water colouring so I couldn't wait to get out my aqua painter again for this weeks  Inkspiration Sketch Challenge #41 with the additional twist of adding water colouring.

Here's the sketch again -

And my latest card -

And of course the inside -

I can't decide which of my two cards that I've done today I like the best, what do you think?


Thanks for visiting!
