Happy New Year

Happy 2012 everyone! Thank you all for your thoughtful words about my Mom, she is back home and doing well. It is back to reality for me here, I enjoyed time off between Christmas and New Year, but now it is back to the grind.

I really didn't do much in the way of stamping over the break, but made sure to squeeze in a card for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge.

Here is my card.. quick, simple and cute :)

The lantern images, along with the sentiment, are from the Asian Gardens Additions set from WMS. I really like the build-your-own lantern capabilities.. especially for this card where I can incorporate the color combination. The cherry blossom image is from the original Asian Gardens set. The string image is from the Wplus9 set Heartfelt Mix, and I can't tell you how many times I think of using this stamp. I love images like this that are so versatile.

Thanks for stopping by, so glad to see you!

Anya
