With all the last minute rush, I got behind on doing a blog post--hence the title. I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas (which is now too late) and a Happy New Year (which is a little early)! I do have a few cards to share. Some of them, I'm not quite happy with. I was in a rush to get some made and they look it. lol
First up is a little decorated envelope that I made with bits and pieces from my stash. I do like the vintage look here.
Back of the envelope.
The next two cards use papers from Little Yellow Bicycle. The circles were cut with EK punches. I kept these two cards similar since I wanted to get a few done at once. The holly leaves were made with a Martha Stewart punch. Rhinestones are also Martha Stewart. A bit of Stickles, bells and ribbon finishes them off.
The next two cards are based on a sketch that Romy Veul shared on her blog. The paper for the first card is from MME. Flowers and leaves are Prima, doily is Wilton, pearls from Recollections, snowflakes are Jolee and Queen & Co.
The papers for this card are from Little Yellow Bicycle, doily from Wilton, and rhinestones from Recollections.
And last but not least is a New Years' card. The papers here are from Melissa Frances, holly leaves punch and rhinestones are Martha Stewart, seam binding is from Debbie Marcinkiewicz, and pearl swirl is from Want 2 Scrap.
Well, that's it for today. Do you have any New Year's Eve plans? I must admit that it's not my favorite holiday. I feel a bit sad putting the Christmas decorations away and losing a bit of that wonderful holiday spirit that everyone has beforehand. We always stay home. My parents come over for a dinner featuring Chinese food and pizza--what a combination! They leave early as they are not night owls. I have to confess I usually have fallen asleep by the time midnight rolls around! My wish for the new year is health and happiness for everyone. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll continue to visit me in the new year.
very cute cards! Wishing you a happy, healthy and crafty 2013!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, my sweet friend, Patty! I think your plans for tonight sound wonderful! Dinner with your parents, and then.....peace and quiet! How lovely!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the start to some joke, though, doesn't it?????
........you know you're getting old when your idea of a fabulous New Year's Eve is to stay home, do nothing, and go to bed early. ;)
Cannot believe the holidays are almost over. I always feel this way, but this year I truly didn't get to a lot of the things I really wanted to. Getting sick the week before certainly didn't help with that. My resolution for this year is to start earlier. But we'll see if that happens.
LOVE your cards! I think your altered envelope is just gorgeous, and I love what you've done with the Little Yellow Bicycle goodies. Sooooo love that New Year's card, too! Beautiful!
Looking forward to another year of bloggy visits and projects from you! Happy New Year!
