Try Stampin on Tuesday #149

Happy New Years Eve everyone.

Today I am sharing a card for Try Stampin on Tuesday.

Ringing in the New Year later and my resolution for this

year is to participate in my challenges outside of my

design teams. So, this is an early start to that.. Here is 

the sketch that they have proivided for us to use..

I must say I really love this..

Along with using this sketch they added a twist and

that was to use some bling..

My card is 5 1/2 X 6. I dug into my scrap bend and

found these two piece of paper that went very well

together. My flower is made with a Spellbinders Shapeablities

Die D-Lite called Blooms Three, and the bling is from Jolene's.

 The Sentiment is a stamp

that I purchased at my local craft store for a $1.00. Don't you

just love deals like that. And finally, my center border is

cut from a Martha Stewart punch.

As I started before I am entering this card over at.

My card this week is done with all scrap papers and

called Rustic Sign and Trees. Really love all of these dies.

I used my Fiskars over scalloped cutter for my sentiment

This week I have started a new chapter in my life. I made the 

move into retirement. I am still getting used to that word as

I am fairly young. So in making this card I just loved the image

from Kenny K.  I don't have her name but I truly love

this little gal..She has the biggest smile on her face, just

as I do with my decision.

Winner of this weeks challenge will recieve 3 fabulous

digi's from Kenny K. I hope you will join us for this weeks 

challenge at TTPH.

Happy Crafting
