Happy New Year!

Even though it isn't a traditional card sending holiday, the New Year is certainly a big deal. Today's design challenge is to make a card to celebrate the New Year. I used my acetate to create the card base and added some elegance with black and gold, showing off the fun party hats from the Party Hearty stamp set. A couple of non-Stampin' Up! items on this cutie, being the calendar and the acetate. Oh, and the gold pen for the lines. Hmmm, maybe that is SU, I don't remember. . . 

Back on track: if you want to take up the challenge and create a New Year's card I would love to see it! In the meantime, be sure to check out the other Diva's Coffee Break team members designs: just click on their names at right to jump to their blogs today. Remember Heidi in your prayers, she is our design team leader but she took a tumble on ice this week and messed up her wrist. In my head I'm thinking: why the arm? why not the leg or ankle, and then she would be forced to recuperate at the stamp table instead of being unable to stamp due to an arm injury!  But of course, it would be better if the whole accident hadn't happened! Anyway. . . heal fast Heidi!
