Happy New Year

Hello!

Today I stepped (more of a creep than a leap) outside my comfort zone a little.  When I think Navy I usually think silver.   I've seen a lot of other card makers using gold with Navy.  I was inspired to give it try.  I have to say I LOVE it!  What do you think?  Do you have color hangups?

I hope you had a wonderful holiday.  We had a great visit with my family.  I wish we were able to see each other more.   It is hard when we are scattered across so many States.

Oh Christmas Tree

 Hello!  

How are all of your Christmas preparations going? I just wrapped up my last craft show for the year.  I need to start focusing on wrapping presents and making some Christmas treats.   I've still trying to sneak in a few more Christmas cards in before the season escapes us.  

I used these stamps by Technique Junkies to create this silly card.  This cat stamp has been a long time favorite. It paired perfectly with the new Christmas tree stamp.  Just to spice up the layout a little I used the vertical Merry Christmas.  I like that you can see it when the card is closed and open.  What do you think?
