Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! It is hard to believe that it is 2010. I hope it brings everyone lots of better times than the previous year. Of course it is starting off with a snowstorm here in the North East. When we went to bed it was starting to spit snow and now it is snowing like mad and is expected to do it off and on all day, tonight and tomorrow. I guess that it means that I am staying in and making cards, hehe. Good time to pull out all my Christmas crafting gifts and try them out.

This cutie is a digi stamp from The Greeting Farm and they were nice enough to give it to us for free (thanks Kristen for letting us know about it). It made a great New Years Day Card that I am giving to a friend that I didn't see over the holidays.

This card also fits quite a few challenges going on right now, so here they are
