Happy New Year everyone! Did you do anything fun to bring in the new year? I’ll confess, I was asleep by 10:30pm…I’m not much of a night owl. But this morning we went to the Rose Parade – that was fun! While we’re on the subject of New Years, that’s what the challenge was this week! So here they are – thanks so much for submitting!
First up – a lovely 2010 card by Laurel Seabrook. I’m diggin’ those sparkly Thickers and the cityscape stamped across the festive stars.
Here’s a 2010 card by Sarah Parker. That big red ribbon bow is my favorite. Swoon.
Oh my goodness. This card by Heidi Van Laar is divine. I love how she turned the flourishes into chandeliers and added some sparkle with jewels.
Cindy Coutts created this stellar card. And now that I have a sewing machine (thank you Santa!) I can totally re-create that zigzag stitching around the border. So pretty.
I see a great combination of colors on this card from the talented Kandi Phillips! And I love that decorative border.
Amy Heller created this totally fun New Year card. Those cascading tags and sparkles really make this card POP!
Here’s what Jenyfur Pohl had to say about her great cards, “I can’t stop making minis! I use them frequently and it seems I never have enough. I put together a pair of New Year mini cards using a martini glass stamp and markers. The color combo is a little non-traditional but I’ve decided I like it. :)” Me too!
Isn’t this card by Tina Erdos lovely? It’s so pretty, I can’t stop looking at it. She made a whole bunch more New Year cards so make sure to check them all out on her blog.
And last but certainly not least, a great wine bottle tag by Dana Gustafson. She created this specifically for the hostess of the New Year party she attended. I’m sure she loved it!
Aren’t these cards great? It might be a li’l too late to create some for this year, but it’s never too early to get started on your 2011 cards right?! :) Happy New Year 2010!
Alrighty, moving on to this week’s challenge. Winter is in full swing here in the States. How ’bout creating cards with snowflakes on them to fit the season? Here are some cards published in the January 2010 issue of CARDS for inspiration:
LET IT SNOW by Hilary Kanwischer
WINTER WISHES by Ann Cox
WINTER WISHES by Kandi Phillips
Please email me your snowflakey winter cards to paiget@scrapbooktrendsmag.com by next Friday January 8th (2010!) and I’ll be back then with my top picks and a new challenge then. Happy New Year one and all!
