Happy New Year to everyone, I hope you all had a marvellous Christmas and New Year. I had a great time but can't believe I had to go back to work already! The first day back after Christmas is always difficult but actually I was so busy that it was hometime before I knew it and now I'm back home snuggling with my little doggie on the sofa and listening to the horrible wind outside that is blowing a gale.
A new year means a new challenge at Papertake Weekly and also a whole new site design at Sweet Shoppe Designs with lots of lovely new kits to choose from :)
This is my card for the anything goes with the option of a new theme (new baby, new house, new stash etc.) challenge and I used a fabulous new kit from Zoe Pearn for my New Baby card
I used:
Papers - One For The Boys digital kit from Sweet Shoppe Designs
Cardstock - Papermania
Glass glitter - 3D Jean
Sentiment - Pink Petticoat
This card is a didi 4 inches square and instead of making it a box I used one of these fab glassine bags to create a little packet for it to go into. I used another sentiment from Pink Pettocoat (printed onto Safmat) as well as trimming the top with pinking shears and adding a few lengths of lace a ricrac and tying up with a ribbon bow (all from Ribbon Girl). The tiny tag and sentiment stamp is from Papertrey Ink and the safety pin is an ancient Making Memories pin that I've had for years and years
All in all I was really happy with how this turned out, shame the lighting here has been so poor even through the day - very grey and gloomy
I am entering this card into:
Paper Sundaes Challenge - Out with the old, in with the new (I used old sentiment stamp and new papers)
Allsorts Challenge - New Beginnings
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes
