If you arrived here from Kellie- alittlebitofkellie.blogspot.com then you are on the right track. If you have not arrived from Kellie's blog, then head over to

 Jo's Scrap Shack and start at the beginning.

Here is my project for this hop:

  The card's background is made using 3 Twenty Crafts stamp set Winter Wonderland.

The background inspiration came from this picture I found when I googled New Year 2014, loved the whole snowflake effect for it

The card base and the square is from the cardstock pack Seaside (the paper co.) the stamped layer iis from DCWV Stack 8 and the scalloped background is from my scrap pile. I used the Spellbinders Classic Square/Scallop Small for the sentiment block. The sentiment was generated from Word-Script MT Bold and Braggadocio fonts and the 2014 was also stickled with Diamond sticles for the glitter effect (came out almost a goldish color) added the wine glasses from a fiscars stamp set and the noisemakers for a cut out of an old scrapbooking 2008 calendar day sheet (you'll see more of this use this coming year :)

Day 6-Just About Time-CADB post

Good morning all and welcome to Day 6 of my 12 days leading up to the drawing of the person that will receive the 100 blogger giveaway-to learn more about the give away you need to go to this post, become a follower and make a comment on this post., I have a card I made for Card A Day Blog the theme this week in New Years.

Civilizations around the world have been celebrating the start of each new year for at least four millennia. In the United States, the most iconic New Year’s tradition is the dropping of a giant ball in New York City's Times Square at the stroke of midnight. Millions of people around the world watch the event, which has taken place almost every year since 1907. Common traditions include attending parties, eating special New Year’s foods, making resolutions for the new year and watching fireworks displays. One of our customs is singing songs to welcome the new year, including the ever-popular "Auld Lang Syne"also to kiss the one you love at midnight.
This is what helped me come up with my card today, the time to ring in a New Year. I chose the cricut cartridge Celebrate With Flourish to create the die cuts for my card. I did the clock and hat at 3" and the sentiment at 2". All cuts came from scraps I had on hand and the card base came from the cardstock pack DCWV-Collage Musings Stack, spiced it up with silver glitter (Studio G style sticles) and few stars for the stars in the sky while watching the ball drop :) I wish you all A Happy New Year!
Stop back tomorrow for Day 7 of my 12 days......
