Hello my stampin’ friends!
Welcome to our Thursday Create with Stamping Friends challenge!

Here is this week’s new layout challenge to spark your creativity –

Since it is the start of the new year, how about a card for that?

I used some familiar products here, starting with the Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper. This paper is more than a Christmas paper. It is quite versatile.
Next, I used the Branching Out Dies. They are must have for your craftry needs, cardmaking or scrapping.

The numbers have been around for a while, Alphabet a la Mode Dies. The size is perfect, and, numbers are included in the set!
Now the sentiment might not be too familiar. It is only part of a sentiment from the Cutest Onesie stamp. I just thought it was too cute not to use!
Happy New Year! Thank you for continuing to follow me and leave compliments now and again! Here is to another year of creatin’!
Check out the other Design Team’s use of these colors this week on our Create with Stamping Friends blog. You’ll see some fabulous ideas! Join us for the challenge too if you’d like!

I appreciate your support of my home based business. Orders like yours help keep me craftin’ with my senior volunteer work and keep my Card Buffets going. Thank you in advance!
