New Beginning!

Hello Everyone and Wow! 2011! Happy New Year!  I'm hoping that how one brings in the new year has no bearing on how the year will go!  Please tell me that's an old wives' tale! ;)  My husband and I  kicked it off with bad colds :(  On NYE, we toasted each other with NightQuil and groggily woke at midnight in our cold medicine-induced stupors when the neighbors set off their fireworks *giggle*!  Oh well, at least there were fireworks - Ha!  :D

So, I thought this card was perfect for beginning a fresh new year!  The precious image is a new release from Doodle Pantry - You can find it here:  Baby Horse.  I colored it with copics and I used some flower soft (adhered to wire) to pop some of the flowers behind the little foal.  I made the card myself from Bazzill cardstock and although I try to be so careful to keep samples/color names of each Bazzill color I use, I did not keep one of this yellow.  Jenna's favorite color is yellow but this particular shade is too light for her liking and I guess that's how it slipped by me to keep the name!  I used an MS edge punch, along with my Scor It All on the yellow layer and then added a piece of CB embossed (polka dots) Bazzill white cardstock.  The gingham bows are from MS as are the lavender adhesive gems.  The sentiment is a rub-on from DCWV sentiments for cards stack.  It says, "a new baby is like the beginning of all things:  wonder, hope, and a dream of possibilities."  Oh I just love that!  How perfect is that for kicking off a new year!? 

Best wishes to you all for a happy (and healthy) New Year! <3 Lisa
