Oh I had to share my New Years Card I did for some friends who are having us over tonight!

I wanted to add some more cards before we left for the family but time ran out on me so I hope you enjoy them now and maybe get some ideas for next year.
I hope you all had a Safe and healthy Christmas . The weather was a bit of a Challange here in Wisconsin but we managed to see lots of family and friends and eat, eat, eat!!

Take care until the next time.

Well 2 posts in one night! I saw this challange earlier this week and should have posted it first. This is really my first try at a Moxie Fab challenge.I just posted the other one first.I saw the cute animal things and I thought of my stamp from Mouse House with a mouse in a thimble and an ornament idea I was working on.I put them together and came up with this cut little guy.
I used tombo markers to color in the part of the stamp I wanted to use and stamped it and colored it with Copic marker. I die cut the holly with a spellbinders die.I die cut the clear ornament using a Accucut die. I then stamped it with white stays on ink and snowflake stamps from Gena K designs.
I cut out the mouse and thimble and attached it and the holly with zip dry glue.I added the candy dots for berry's. It needed a little something so I misted it whit some marshmallow glimmer mist and got out my trusty diamond stickles and added some sparkle to the snowflakes
My little friend is ready to put on the tree. I am an alteration specialist by day so this really fits well on my tree!
Thanks for stopping and peeking at my project.

Well I am going to try my hand at a Moxie Fab challenge.I love the colors Nina used and have been playing with pastels a lot this season.I started with and idea that I wanted to incorporate some snowflakes and my card and developed it from there.I die cut some snowflakes using Create a a flake 1 and 2 spellbinders dies from some pearl paper. I found a pretty aqua and pink paper. I die cut them with spellbinders dies.I debossed the aqua one with a cuttlebug embossing folder.I found a nice saying from Gena K designs and die cut that with another spellbinder fancy tags die.I sponged the edges with a Tim Holtz distress ink.I put it all together and decided I needed some gold on my snowflakes to pull it all together.I found a pretty plaid ribbon and some pearls to finish it all off. My 18 year old liked it so I guess I did O.K.
Thanks for stopping and have a Blessed Christmas.
