Happy New Year

Are you resolving to lose weight, and exercise more?  Yeah, you and most of the population.  Me, I've given up on that resolution, I'm resolving to use up more of my craft supplies, ink up stamps that are sitting unloved and to finish the inside of cards.  I bet I have as much luck with these resolutions as the others. 
I've been on a Cat's Pajamas binge.  So even though it isn't the new year yet I did ink up some stamps that have been unloved, and I did the inside of one.
Will I be able to keep this up in the new year?  Well keep stopping by to check up on me.
Here's the deets for the penguin:
stamp:  the Cat's Pajamas "Make Merry"
ink:  Inkadinkado black chalk ink
paper:  Su kraft cs for base; Lasting Impressions dp; Georgia Pacific white cs
miscellaneous:  the Cat's Pajamas Cut Ups "Icing";
EK Success "cheers" border punch; stickles, copics, charm; Heidi Swapp bling; the Cat's Pajamas Divine twine; nestibilities

Next up, a birthday card.  I've got a few coming up in January so time's a wasting. 
This bunny has become one of my favorites characters.  I can't wait to see what trouble he gets into this year.

Here's the deets:
stamp:  the Cat's Pajamas "Forget About the Cake"
ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
paper:  SU Certainly Celery cs for base and small mats; Nicole blue cs for mat; Scenic Route candles dp; Recollections "Monkeying Around" (dots) dp
miscellaneous:  Glitzy glitter; charm; buttons; floss; copics; stickles; nestibilities

Lastly, I made a card for my buddies in Elizabeth, NJ.  We were supposed to drive North on Christmas night and I had planned to hook up with them yesterday but Mother Nature had a different idea.  There was a traveler's advisory that driving conditions in the Carolinas were perilous so we cancelled.  At the time we didn't know what was going to hit NJ.  Turns out they got over 30 inches of the white stuff!  Yikes!  It was so news worthy they were showing video of it on the news here in Florida.   I'm really sorry I didn't get to visit with my buddies but I'm really, really, really glad that I don't have to deal with that snow. 

AND, I finished the inside of this card!  Maybe I'll be keeping a resolution for a change.
