Happy New Year!!!

WOW!   Where did 2010 GO???   It seems like it was just yesterday, ringing in 2010.   Now we are getting ready to ring in 2011.   I am ready for it...   I have some Goals set and  I hope I reach them all.    Number 1 on my list....To SHARE more.   So if you want to see something on here, let me know.   Maybe a technique, maybe a sample using a specific stamp set or an embellishment.  

My first share of the year ...A birthday card.   for two friends.   I started about a year ago making 2 cards basically the same when I make a card, what the heck, you cut the card stock in half and have the base ready and you make a mess (or at least I do) making one card, so you might as well make 2 for the same mess!

This card uses:

Hostess Level 1- Birthday Bakery stamp set #120115
Poppy Parade card stock  #119793
Baja Breeze card stock #111352
Whisper White card stock #100730
Subtles Patterns DSP stack (So saffron) #117152
Basic black ink #101179
Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze and So Saffron markers

Even though a lot of supplies were used, this card went together quite quickly.  One of the ladies I made these cards for received her card yesterday.
