Happy New Year! Bring on 2010

Hello everyone...are y'all getting ready for the big celebration tonight?? My DH and I will be staying home this year with a good movie and a bowl of popcorn. Not too exciting but it works for us!!

I made this card Tuesday for the Teapot Tuesday challenge. Sabrina (Cook22) was the Teapot Tuesday hostess with the mostess who filled in for da Mudder. She took us to the woods to look for bears, trees, and all the other things you can find there...not sure if I really want to find any bears but we should have fun!!! I went in style with my little camper...the grandkids were all sooo anxious and they were driving us crazy asking "Are we there yet??" I bet you have heard that a hundred times!!! The image is a paper cut from the Mr. Campy kit...I did a little sewing around the background layers and the bears from Happy Camper were stamped with Chocolate Chip. Ribbon and the tree brads finish it off.
This is also for the DDC challenge (found in the SCS challenge forum thread) this week hosted by Fran (Francie G.) to make a card showing what we would really like to be doing right now!! Whatever it might be, that is what your card should depict! I would love to be camping right now but I guess with all the rain, sleet, and other bad weather around here, I'll only dream about it!!
Please join us in our little challenge and add DDC to the keywords section of your upload so we can find your card. You can find all the DDC cards here.

I also made this card last Tuesday for the color challenge on Splitcoast. Betty picked Dusty Durango, Basic Gray, and Barely Banana.
I found a scrap piece of Anna Griffin dp for the background and stamped the main image with Basic Gray and Rubbernecker's Floral Silhouette image. Clear bling was colored with a copic and added to the flowers. I did a little sewing around the background layer and lace trim, PTI ribbon, and a heart charm for dessert finished it off.

I loved Tuesday's color challenge colors so much that I just had to make another card!!

I also combined the color challenge with last weeks DDC challenge hosted by Joanne (sleepyinseattle) to make a New Years card. The sweet little bird from Little Paper Shop's Christmas Wishes set was stamped with Dusty Durango and matted with Barely Banana. The sentiment from the same set was stamped with Basic Gray and sponged with Barely Banana. Scallops with a Martha Stewart punch, gray pearls, and gray ribbon finish it off.
