Happy New Year

I'm late with new year wishes for all of you but no less sincere. I wish everyone good health, time with family and lots of crafty time, especially with family. My granddaughter came down before Christmas and made cards for her co-workers and we had such a good time. My job was to cut and fold card bases for her and I loved it.

My card today uses a Simon Says Vine Canopy embossing folder. I inked over it with CP inks in brown and turquoise and added the panel to turquoise card base. The sentiment from Altenew was die cut from the same turquoise cardstock.

I am not self medicating with chocolate. The lady at the shop wrote me a prescription for it. Well, she called it a receipt, but whatever.






Be kind to one another.

Your card is beautiful with that swirly hello being front and center on a great background. I'm sure it was fun crafting with your granddaughter - those times are always special. Wishing you the very best in life in the coming year - may it be a great one for you. And yes, chocolate is the best medicine ever created LOL
