Surprise...it's me!

Hi everyone!  

Happy New Year...I wanted to send this late wish rather than none at all!  So Happy New Year everyone, I hope it's a wonderful year ahead for you filled with love, laughter, good health, good friends and of course a little dash of mischief tucked in for good measure!

I also want to tell you all how much I appreciate you, I can see that I still have lots of you following my blog and to my complete surprise and wonder, lots of you are newcomers and have joined me even though I've not been updating my blog since....oh my..gosh...last summer!  So thank you for coming to my little corner of the world to check in on me and welcome!  I love to have your company on my ramblings and its fun to share my creations with you too.  I appreciate you all so much, big hugs from me to you!!

Here's a close up showing the focal point of the card I made, Champagne glasses of course!  I designed a New Year's background page that I'm hoping will show up here (!) so that you can click on it and print it out for your own use...fingers crossed that it will work!  

I've been trying to totally convert my things from my old PC and so after updating my Mac with Windows I think I might be onto something, that is with lots of help from my son for installing it, teaching me new things and his reminders to use Dropbox.  If this works, I'll be so pleased and it will be easier to share here on my blog rather than sending individual emails to share.  Hope it works!!

So, here we go, onto the card I made with my homemade background, I hope you like it!  I really had fun with it.  

Supplies I used: Whisper White Cardstock, Basic Black Cardstock, Black Organza Ribbon, Flower (MFT Rolled Rose Die) Happy Hour (used a black marker to ink up the Champagne glasses), Fringe Scissors for the Streamers, Gelly Roll Sakura Pen (Clear Star) to colour in the Champagne and Glass Beads from the Bead store.

Thanks so much for stopping by to share your time with me!  If you can download and print my text background, please leave me a quick comment to let me know...thanks so much!

Hugs ~ Judy
