Happy New Year! 2014

Here we are again at the beginning of another new year.  How many of them have you seen?  Isn't it funny how we see January 1st as so different from December 31st?  It's just a day but we put so much into this one day.  When and where did this celebration begin?

This is the card I made for the color challenge and sketch challenge this week.  I used silver, black and white for the colors.

Images were stamped in black ink then colored with Copic markers. Rhinestones were added then glue pen was used to outline the flowers. Silver embossing powder with glitter was added. Embossing powder was heated then card was layered together.
Here's the inspiration from Cary's gallery:

 

 I colored flower with white craft ink and paint brush. I heated it then colored the flower with inks and heated it again. I added dimensionals to the back of the image.  This was for the Inspiration Challenge.

 

The image was stamped in black ink and colored with Copic markers. I used a heart framelit to cut out the heart. I used dimensionals behind the heart and added hearts cut from paper, silver and red glimmer paper. I'm not sure if I'll make this a miss you card or a Valentine's Day card. It's been a while since I've made a shaker card, thanks!

Today's been a laid back day.  Tim went to work until 11 or so.  He had to do month end and year end.   Some of the reports he can run from home, but some of the things he has to do have to be done at work.

Sarah and I had lunch together and talked and laughed a lot.  She helped me learn how to make my own ringtones and I helped her hang her bulletin board with ribbon on her bedroom door.

Blessing of the Day: spending time with Sarah.
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
