New Year

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: New Year (you can create a project using something NEW, using a NEW technique, or maybe just  a NEW year's card).

Here is my card for your inspiration:

I didn't receive any new crafty items for Christmas, so I went with the NEW Year's day theme.  I had this paper pack sitting on my desk from the previous card I had made (you can see it here).  As I was flipping through it, I cam across this gorgeous paper and just had to use it.  I paired it with two different shades of gray card stock and used a teal card stock for the die cut letters.  I colored up my sweet little kitty in my favorite gray (gray cats have always been my favorite), gave him a party hat and finished everything off with some leftover die cut stars (left over from the same project mentioned above).

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
