HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU

As 2011 comes to an end, I'll remember the fun journey I've been thru blogland. Making new friends who share the same passion, being so inspired by other amazing bloggers while blog hopping, and reading sweet comments from all of you who visit my blog just made my year a fun-filled and fabulous one. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Here's a card for all of you with wishes for a bright, safe, healthy, and very prosperous New Year. The "firecracker" image is by Sister Stamps. Cute yah?


Other supplies: Branch die by Sizzix, flowers by Gakken which I bought in Japan, Copics, DP by DCWV, Distress Ink, Spellbinder dies, and "go" yen (a nickel) from Japan.

Well, I better hit the sack now. Need to wake up early to cook, cook, cook.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hello Karen, Happy New Year to you. .. and what a lovely card, it is so sweet, love it. Thank you also for your lovely comment just now. Yes it is good to have freebies in magazines but I'm not sure they are freebies at all as the magazines are so expensive and I hardly have time to look at them! The leaves are from a Marianne Creatables die, and they come with a flower die too. Will send you some die cuts from that if you like. Let me know xxx
