Happy 2015, everybody! Did you stay awake 'til midnight to ring in the new year? Or maybe you fall asleep well before then, as I sometimes do. hee hee Older I get, harder it is to make it past 9:30 or 10!
For the first time ever, I did not get any Christmas cards mailed out -- either store-bought or handmade. Life was too full! Luckily, mailing out New Year's cards IS a thing now, so I'm trendy. :-) I took inspiration from my friend Virginia, and mass-produced these as our New Year's cards:
I like Virginia's version much, much better...but I needed to make over 30 of these, so some of the pretty design elements had to go. Ah well. I am still pleased with how they came out.
Wishing you a fabulous new year, my friends!

ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR, Colleen! You card is every bit gorgeous and sophisticated! I am glad mine inspired you somehow... Thanks for the mention! I hope 2015 is a going to be a fabulous year for you and family! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteIt's currently minutes before midnight here, and I've had a quiet evening at home, just the way I like it. You did great getting 30 of these made, and so pretty, too! Love the navy background with the glittery border. I've been trying for days to get simply four of a kind done and can't seem to stick with it long enough each day to finish. Sheesh! Happy new year, Colleen!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Colleen! Wish you an Amazing New Year dear!
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Colleen. This was a nice design to mass produce, while keeping postage costs down.

A very Happy New Year to you and yours my talented friend!
