Hello Everyone!
Wow! Last day in January....where did that go? I finally took my Christmas tree down yesterday.😀 I just loved to turn it on in the mornings. It was so bright and cheerful on those dark mornings.
Last week at the Flea Market I was asked to make a Special Card for a young teacher at a local Day Care. She is transferring to a different area and school and will be missed by all the parents and children. The young lady who asked me has children who love this teacher and will miss her. She gave me the colors - Pink, has to have a Lotus Flower and numbers 123 and the alphabet ABC. It also has a special poem of Gratitude. The poem is not shown in the pictures, as it was private.
So this is my Occasion for this Challenge:

Hello Everyone!
Happy Chinese New Year!
I am sure there is lots of celebrations all around the world today!
Time to do a Masculine card and I recently received the "By the Dock Stamp and Die set". I know a lot of "Fisherpeople", so I thought I would combine last year's "Best Catch" with my new set. They do compliment each other as you will see.
Inside View:
Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: By the Dock, Best Catch
Cardstock; Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Leftover dsp
Ink: Tuxedo Black, Various Blends
Misc.: Dockside Die Cuts, Catch of the Day Dies
Very easy card to make and anyone who goes fishing will love receiving this on their birthday. Be sure to check out the Design Team on WWC255. You will find lots of inspiration from the cards that these Ladies have made for us.
Until next time, take care, and Happy Stamping!

WooHoo! "I am one of the Watercooler Rockers" Yeh😄😄😄
Thank you so much Debbie for choosing my card. I appreciate the honor! It makes cardmaking so worth it!
Happy New Year Everyone!💖🎇🎇🎇🎆
Hey it was a week ago that we welcomed in a New Year and a New Decade! I hope everyone is Happy and ready to start a New Year with all the challenges we face today.
My card today is a combination of "Beautiful You" and the new "Parisian Die Cuts". I did not buy the stamp set, as I have two emossing folder's that will fit in nicely with the die cuts. One is the "Eiffel Tower" and the other is "French Script". I haven't put these two to good use, so thought - let's use them.
I embossed on black card stock with a floral stamp set "Breathtaking Bouquet", and then used this background to cut out the dies. It made the Eiffel Tower and Amour dies "Pop Out", Unfortunately my pictures do not do this card justice.
