Happy New Year!

FMS318 starts a new year of challenges.  This sketch is clean and simple, just like all their challenges.  Sale-a-Bration and the Occassions catalogs are in full swing, and the Party Pandas set is free with a $50 order.  I am in love with this adorable set, and paired it with 3 patterns of some of my favorite DSP, Pick a Pattern.  The colors are Crushed Curry, Basic Black, and Whisper White.  This card came together very quickly with just a small bit of fussy cutting.

Here’s my card:

Isn’t that Panda adorable?  The Happy Birthday sentiment is part of this stamp set as well.   I added 3 of the black jewels in the corners, cut out the balloon and popped it up with mini-dimensionals, and I was done.

Here’s the whole Party Panda stamp set (item 147221):

My goal this year is to post a blog entry 3 times a week.  By writing it down, and publishing it, I hope that helps me keep meet my goal.

Have a Peachy day!
