Champagne Cheers to the New Year!

It seems like a lot of folks can’t wait to say goodbye to 2016. For me its been like most years: some ups, some downs. Like every year, December 31st comes along and we look forward and say Happy New Year!

So, champagne cheers to 2017!

Here’s to you

I recently attended an event at the new Crane Brewing Taproom (for those of you in the Raytown MO area). And I recently got the stamp set Mixed Drinks. So I made a card using the beer mug.

One of things I like about this set is that you don’t need to color your drinks. Each glass type has a matching “liquid” image to fit. And its photopolymer, so its really easy to use.

card by Paula Fats Cannon using Timeless Texture and Butterfly Basics stamps in Perfect Plum, Old Olive and Delightful Dijon

Presto Chango

Earlier this month I attended On Stage, a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator event. One of the fun things to do at these events  is to swap.  Since I didn’t make a lot of time for my swaps, I pulled a few of my cards and made new versions. Here is a card from a class I held last spring. I love the Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss color combo, with the dash of Delightful Dijon.

However, some of the elements for this card are retired, so I played around with some new elements and … Presto Chango … same card with new color combo!
