STILL CELEBRATING NEW YEARS HERE!

I still have a few New Year's projects and cards to show you. At our home, this is Happy New Year Weekend. My sister in law and brother in law are here from Allentown, Pa and we are doing New Year's, Christmas and Thanksgiving together. It has been quite nice. They arrived yesterday for a few days. We went to church, had dinner out at Ledo's (yum!) and then came home to play a few games of CLUE. Remember that one? Well, Miss Scarlet did do it with a lead pipe in the Conservatory!!!! just kidding! But here is a card I did with the group at the Holiday Blues Class at Amanda's home. I cased it from someone but don't remember who as their name was not on the back. I love it though and only modified it by using the snowflake side of the shimmery Christmas cocoa paper. It features an Under $10 stamp from the Holiday Mini Catalog that has so many great New Years Words that you can stamp all as one or separately or punch out with different punches like the word window! This stamp is only available until tomorrow - Jan. 4th! We used Soft Suede In Color as the main card stock base and then highlighted with Bermuda Bay and Ultra smooth white. The ink color is soft suede also. Notice how we highlighted the champagne glass with some crystal effects and dazzling diamonds to give a champagne bubbly effect.
The envelope is kraft - something different from our usual white or ivory. We stamped the happy definition from define your life stamp set on the inside and the envelope back flap. That is just the sentiment we wanted to convey for the New Year- HAPPY!
Now here is a great photo showcasing how happy I am that my son gave me a kiss on New Year's!
