Well I'm still trying to make sense of my craft room but I was able to make a card and to join my teammates at Pile It On for the challenge #1 of the New Year. We hope you'll join us so we've made it an easy theme - Anything Goes. This week's sponsor is Simon Says Stamp. So get your fingers inky, you could be the next winner and even if you aren't you'll have fun.
How did you spend your New Year's Eve? Were you out partying hardy, all dressed up in a pretty dress? My little family went downtown to the movies. Amazingly, I did not fall asleep. Yeah me!
don't forget the inside |
And then there's the resolutions... Well last year I resolved to use up more of my supplies, ink up stamps that needed love and to do the inside of my cards. If you're a regular visitor then you know that I did a pretty job of doing the insides of my cards. So along with the usual lose weight and exercise more (I did a decent job with those too!) I am going to resolve to keep up with last year's resolutions.
Here's the deets:
stamp - My Favorite Things (a la modes) "Cheers"
ink - Memento Tuxedo Black; Close To My Heart "Cranberry"
paper - Recollections red card base; Black card stock; white cardcstock; Stampin' Up "Night and Day" dsp
miscellaneous - copics; pleated ribbon; burtlap twine; Taylored Tiny Twinkles; mini brads; Stampin' Up punch; champagne charm; glaze pen
