Happy New Year!


Hi there!

Just popping in quick to share with you a card I made for my sister.  I needed to send her some photos I took of her last month for her birthday celebration.  I thought that I'd make a quick card to send along to wish her and her husband a Happy New Year! 

I started with a cream colored base and layered with navy and polka dot paper.  The border die I used is from Taylored Expressions.  The sentiment is from my computer using the Harlow Solid Italic.  I used the negative part of the die behind the sentiment.  The card was finished off with navy ribbon.  Very easy peasy, but nice just the same. 

Here is a photo of two of my sisters at my sis's bday celebration.  The other two sisters weren't able to make it, but hopefully next time. 

The birthday gal, Lucretia, is in the center.  My sis, Donna, is on the left.  And, me on the right.  Ok, friends, that's all for now.  Hope you are staying warm.  We just got several inches of snow here today.  And, we may get some more...brrrr!  Take care and thanks so much for dropping by!

Supplies:

Paper:  Bazzill, Kraft Outlet, Paper Studio, SU
Die:  Taylored Expressions
Ribbon:  Jo-Ann Fabric
Print:  Harlow Solid Italic(from computer)
