Happy New Year to all my blogging/stamping friends!! It was one year ago today that I created my first post on this blog. A number of my friends had been telling me what fun it was; I didn't think it was something I wanted to do but I finally gave in and I have to admit that I was wrong. It has been as much fun as they told me it would be!!
I have two cards today based on the sketch from AnnaBelle Stamps. Please go to their site to see the sketch; I tried to bring it over here but couldn't figure out how to do it (even after a year, blogger still defeats me from time to time!). I altered the placement of the sentiment on both of my cards so I'm not sure that they will qualify for the challenge and I wouldn't want to lead you astray!
The first card is ivory and green -- I texturized the ivory cardstock by using the Cuttlebug emobssing folder Checker Board. The focal image is from Annabelle Stamps, Thoughtful Stems. The little butterfly is from Gina K. Designs, Spring Mix. And finally, the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, Everyday Button Bits.
The second card uses the Cuttlebug embossing folder Stripes; the butterfly is from Layers of Color and the sentiment from Papertrey Ink, Everyday Button Bits. And that pretty satin ribbon came from Big Lots.
Hoping you enjoyed the cards and that today is the first day of a glorious, healthy and happy new year!
Betty
