It was really nice to have the kids home from school this past 1 1/2 weeks. We got to spend alot of time together just hanging out without any responsibilities or activities to run too. Tomorrow it's back to school and midterms... eeek!
Today I wanted to share a Happy New Year card that I made:
I used Tilda and Edwin Dancing that I picked up from Magnolia-licious. The champagne bottle and glass also came from Magnolia-licious. The double heart and heart flourish on my card are chipboard pieces that I got from Make-it-Crafty and I colored it with a silver marker. I really love this set of chipboard pieces, there are many other sweet designs with this set. I cut out my letters and numbers with my Cricut Expression - hmm... now that I look at it, the letters weren't placed very evenly :(... I did have trouble placing these tiny letters down with glue... I hope you still like it?
Here are a few closer views of my card:
Well I wanted to share with you some unbelievable news that I received just before Christmas.
I have been asked to join the Magnolia Sweden Design Team. I can't tell you how shocked, suprised, and thrilled I was to receive such an amazing early Christmas present. I'm so honored to get to work with this amazing group of talented ladies. I had to create a Magnolia only blog. Here is the link: http://mymagnoliasbyangela.blogspot.com/. It would mean so much to me if you could take a moment and follow me there if you would like.
Well, thanks for visiting me today and for any comments your might leave me. Take care!! xoxo
