Last year I missed a few people with Christmas cards so decided to send them a Happy New Year card instead. I always miss all the extra mail dropping on the doormat so hopefully getting an unexpected card on a dull, dreary January day brought a little bit of cheer to some people.
I used some of my favourite Penny Black stamps and stamped them directly onto the card and coloured them with Promarkers. The sentiment is by Kaisercraft. A bit of Stardust Stickles was added for some sparkle.
Today Wendy has shared a layout that she did in 2010 using a photograph from a post crop meal out. At the time she challenged myself and Sy to use the same photograph and do a layout as well. I did blog mine at the time here but thought I would pop it up here as well - notice that I did pinch Wendy's title!!
I must admit, I love sending and receiving new year cards, it make the start of a new year really special. I always feel sad when christmas is over, so it cheers me up
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely cards and I like your layout better than I do mine .... well.... apart from the flowers..... LOL
ReplyDeleteNew Year cards are an excellent idea. You can keep them up as long as you like!
