Hi there! Here today to wish all of you a very
Happy New Year and to thank you for so many sweet comments and words of encouragement throughout 2010 :) I sure hope I am able to continue to inspire you for another year!
CHEERS to
2011! I will be spending the evening with my hubby and sweet sister Tina enjoying a yummy dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. Here's my first card of 2011:
I made a banner by combining
S4-295 Lacey Squares and
S4-126 Classic Squares LG die templates. After cutting/embossing each square & Lacey square, I cut each of them in 1/2 then layered & adhered together then using
Victorian Alphabet to stamp 2011.
We will be spending the first day of 2011 going for a hike up the mountain nearby then hanging out at home, Scott will be enjoying football and Tina & I will be crafting :) It has been a bit chilly here in AZ so, I am going to make a big pot of chili both with meat and Vegan style for my son & his girlfriend who will be joining us for dinner. Would love to know how you spent the evening ringing in the New Year & how will be spending the 1st day of 2011? Whatever you do, I hope you have a great time :) Be Sweet!
I will be back tomorrow to share the winner of my
little give away (
