~ Happy New Year ~

Today on SCS  Dawn challenged us to make a card depicting one of our New Years resolutions! This one depicts two. One is to send more birthday cards and one is to be more thankful for my blessings!

The Rubbernecker's sentiment was stamped and then cut out using a Spellbinder's diecut and the fabulous Spellbinder's Grand Calibur diecut machine. The Grand Calibur is a dream to use. It is so, so easy to use and cuts and embosses like a dream. There is no guessing about which plates to use, they are all marked. The flower was made using a McGill flower and leaf punches. The lovely dp is Websters Pages. 

Our New Years tradition is to have blackeyed peas, turnip greens and cornbread on New Years day. What do you usually have on New Years day?

I wish you blessings, health and happiness in the New Year.

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs! 

 

Good morning everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

We had twelve family and friends for Christmas dinner. We have a new baby in the family so that made it even more special.

It is time for ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge(SNTODBD25)! The assignment is Our Daily Bread Designs stamps. Chrissy Dickinson is our challenge host this rotation. Chrissy is challenging us to "Ring in the New!" The theme can be interpreted in many ways, such as.....new stuff, new year, new baby, new home! Or, the focus is can be on ring and think circular items. Ring can also be about music. All forms of celebration ideas like Birthday, Anniversay, etc. are there. Lots of possibilities. We look forward to seeing what you create using ODBD stamps!

Please see ODBD's Blog  for all the details!

Since it is almost the new year, I chose to use new beginnings as my theme. My card could be used as a wedding , anniversary or just a reminder of how we should love one another. I think I need to read this scripture everyday as a reminder that love is:

patient, kind, it does not envy, or boast, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking or easily angered, love protects, always trusts, always hopes,

1 Corinthians

After stamping the scripture I stippled using blush blossom and really rust. A Tim Holtz die cut was used for the added swirls. The background panel was scored using a Scor-Pal and then paper pierced. Ribbon, beads and tiny rose buds were added to the main panel!
