Colouring Within The Lines: Happy New Year

I know I'm a little late in wishing you all a Happy New Year but I decided to wait until I could use this sweet New Release image by Melissa from Meljen's Designs. Isn't he just too cute - perfect not only as a New Year Baby but to announce the birth of any little one, anytime of the year! You can find him and all the New Releases right here: http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.ca/ and while you're there check out the great projects from the rest of the Meljen Team; they are a wonderfully talented group of ladies!

For my card I used a real mix of the "Old & New". The oldies (but goodies) are the recycled ribbon, Spellbinder Scalloped Circle die, Sizzix Star die, antique button and Tim Holtz's distress ink. The new items, (yes, Santa was very, very good to me), are the DP by MME (Sweater Weather), Spellbinder Circle Heart Die, and sentiment using a Dymo Caption Marker. Santa also gave me a New Copic Case...it holds all 300 plus markers! I guess that means he's giving me permission to add to my Copic Collection (he,he,he). Thanks Santa...I love you!

Well, that it for me. Hope you have one terrific day!

hugs,

Nancy
