I'm back....Happy New Year to you all hope you all had a wonderful time..I decided to take a few days rest for myself as some of you may know I have a little problem with my thyroid and with all the fun of christmas and new year,all the family,friends and rushing about it took it's toll on me and I wasn't too good so needed to recharge my batteries..Well come on tell what New Year resolutions have you all made... and if your anything like me broken already..mine was to be more confident not to eat so much chocolate and to try and lose some weight don't hold much hope of achieving any of those oh well..on to my card I have made this for the creative card crew challenge.......
I've used one of my new greeting farm stamps that I had for crimbo...I decided to keep the card quite simple so have only used the two colours..I used distress inks to colour the image...
I used my fiskars threading water punch to make the edge of the pink card on both pieces..laid pink ribbon on top of the piece on the bottom and cut a thin piece of the black card and laid that in the middle of the other pink..the image and the outer two circles I used my nesties to cut them out and then layered them up
the sentiment ws free with a magazine and I cut a small pink circle for it to sit on the picture doesn't show it very well but it is covered with glossy accents to make it like a tile..the gem dew drops are from my stash as was the ribbon...I'm so glad everything is back to normal and I can get back into my crafting again..don't forget spill the beans on those new year resolutions then I can see how many of you are as bad as me..
CHECK OUT MY CANDY AT THE TOP NOT LONG TO GO NOW BEFORE THE DRAW!!!
Take care and thank you for making me so welcome into blogland I'm so looking forward to this year..

That is a beautiful easel card, Mandy! I really love the colours and the ribbon and the image is so cute!
My new years resolution's have kinda been broken... I wanted to get out 3 times a week with my little boy but it's way too cold and icy to do it right now! I want to eat more healthy and we don't have much healthy food in the house, so thats not my fault lol.
That's a sweet stamp and a great card :):):)
Wow, Mandy, such a beautiful card.
I like the colors very much.

I stopped making resolutions a few years ago as I never stuck to them so now I can say yep I'm sticking to them as my resolution is not to have any resolutions to break, but I suppose not having any sort of breaks it anyway never mind happy new year Mandy ! thanks Julye
