Happy New Year!


Hey hens!! Did you all have a FABBY evening? Me and my DH stayed home and watched the ball drop. I love that! We had lot's of goodies to eat since this is my last "hoorah" as the 'ol diet starts today! Hmmmph!

So after a crazy night, I thought Stella would be the perfect image for today since most of us will be needing a cup of coffee, huh? LOL!! I just love how this card turned out, don't you?

I stamped "Stella has her fix" onto some Bella's Bestest Paper and colored her with my Copics. I cut her out with my oval Nesties and sponged some Distress Ink around the edges. I matted her with the same CS cut with my scalloped oval Nesties and used a few SU dimensionals in between. This DP is from October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker collection and I just love these reds and blues in it. I finished with a few brads and some twill tape tied in a cute bubbly bow with a red button on top.


Okee dokee hens, that's it for me today. I'm off to soak my beans since we're having bean soup today for GOOD LUCK! I hope you all have a wonderful New Year filled with many blessings! {{{hen hugs}}}

Supplies:
Rubber Stamp - Stamping Bella; CS - Bella's Bestest Paper, SU Basic Black; Copics; DP - October Afternoon Modern Homemaker; Brads; Twill Tape; Button; Nestabilities
