Happy New Year Everyone -- I think you are ALL wonderful!

A Photographic Birthday - A Picture Perfect Day! :)

I do like to entertain myself by trying to come up with novel and/or witty sentiments for my cards.  The card I made today is no exception and I'm delighted that the recipient was very happy with it.


A last minute request for a card for 'someone who is into photography' was my inspiration:

Recipe: I used a very pretty silver glossy card stock and matching matte envelope.  The dimensional stickers are from Punch Studio (travel). Floral border from Cock-A-Doodle-Designs. Sparkles!!!! Gotta have sparkles!!
I printed the sentiment on vanilla card stock.

How I spent Christmas vacation

I've been doing a little of this,a  lot of nothing, a little of that...

I really needed to reorganize my craft room and this was an overwhelming task.  I'm still not finished, but I swore (my husband *strongly* suggested) I not craft another thing until it was done.

How to sort the reams upon reams of papers: colour?texture?theme? 

How to arrange markers, even glues...

How to arrange stickers! Oh my god; so many stickers! Vinyl, textured,felt,chipboard, rub ons, etc...

I really get peeved when I find 'the perfect' paper or embellishments AFTER I completed a project.

What about all those 'Ohhhhhh -- that page in the magazine is SO pretty pages', or the "Ohhhhh... those postcards or inserts or packing material would be wonderful in SOME project" items?

There are 3 cases of paper punches. 

One large bin of fancy scissors.

Embossing sheets

Stamps

Inks

If I don't record everything I will forget I have it.  This is taking quite a while.

There's a box for Christmas, Valentines Day, Jewish Holidays, other holidays,...

Anyway, I still managed to find time to get over to Lowes and visit with Santa before he took off again.

WooHoo!  New paint chips that are LONG, and BIG, with little writing on them and very paper-like!!!  Thank you Lowes! (and Santa)

I have made a couple of books and cards -- sshhhh... don't tell my hubby.
