OCC Bright and Happy New Year Challenge

2011 is almost all gone! I am pretty Ok with that, not been the best year ever, but not the worst either ;). The only goals I have really set for 2012 are stamp related. Use up some of my "stuff" and make more cards! I am going to try to utilize the sketches over at Clean and Simple stamping to help out with this. They have put them in a PDF format. I printed off the first 19 and have started. I will say that I have only completed one sketch in a couple of hours....but I made two cards inspired from it! Go me! Total of 3 cards in one afternoon makes it a great start!

So as I was looking around the net today, I found a nice challenge over at Our Creative Corner. Bright and Happy New Year Challenge and since I can always use help with a good color combo, I decided to play along.

Here is my first card. I must say that the pink looks red but it really is pink! This card is inspired by my friend Jen over at Jen's Ink Spot. That girl can use he twine in  the coolest ways!


My second card is inspired by the #1 sketch over at Clean and Simple stamping. I left out a pfew pieces but hey, that is why they say "inspired by"

Off to visit the treadmill. Hope you have a safe and Happy New Year!

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI
Paper: Royal Velvet, Wite Cardstock
Ink: French Lilac Palette
Other: Impression plate from PTI and Twine
