Let's use new stuff!

Jingle Belles is asking to see what Santa brought!!  New goodies!!  Unfortunately, Santa didn't bring new stuff, but I did get some new-to-me embossing powder that's AmAzInG!

The reindeer stamp is from Unity Stamp Co., the "Merry Christmas" stamp and the sequins are from Bella Creationz, the twine is from May Arts and the papers are all scraps!  I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Walnut Stain and then sprinkled my new WOW! Embossing Powder on.  It's the Neutral Ultra Shimmer and all I can say is I hope you can see the sparkle!

Thanks for looking!!

Happy New Year!

And so it begins again!  Jingle Belles Rock helped me "take back December!"  I am happy to report that I only had to make a few extra cards this past December, not my regular 1am sessions trying to finish!!  I actually had time to make some cards for friends too!! So this year, I'm going to try to make at least 2 cards each challenge....that should increase my total significantly!!

First prompt of the new year to re-purpose some Christmas wrapping paper!  In our house we don't save paper much....too much tearing and ripping happening!  So instead I just took a scrap of left over paper from our own wrapping and used it!  Found these super cute Santa head's that have been hiding in my stash waiting for the right moment!

The red HO HO HO is the wrapping paper, the "words" paper is from scraps on my desk left over from my last minute card making!  Some sequins and stickles to finish it off!

Let the countdown begin!  2 cards to start the year off right!
