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. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Mama Elephant "Lunar Animals"; Unity Stamps Co. small sentiment
Dies: MFT "Stitched Alphabet"; Papertrey Ink stars

Challenges:
Cutie Pie Challenge--Feeling Sentimental













Incy Wincy Designs--New AND/OR Let's Celebrate
Word Art Wednesday #630--anything goes with uplifting sentiment
Snippets Playground #471--celebration (must use snippets--no full sheets of anything were harmed in the making of this card: all the cardstocks were from off cuts as was the paper.  My kitty was stamped on a tiny snippet of white card stock and my stars were left over from a previous project.)
A Gem of a Challenge--anything goes
