Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a great Christmas Holiday.  I know I did.  Lots of cooking and grandkids.  It was really a fun time with family.  And now the new year is upon us.  So, I decided to make a New Year's card.  And it is just in time for Creative Craft Challenges 2 Anything Goes Challenge.  I used New Year Marci from La La Land Crafts.  The sentiment is one of two that came with the stamp.

Elf Up and Away

Wow! I can't believe Christmas is almost here.  I finally finished my shopping, but still have a couple of things to put together.  And I have nothing wrapped yet.   I have made my last Delightful Thursday card for 2013 for Digital Delights.  But, I will return in January 2014 with a another new release for Delightful Thursday. 

For my card today I used Elf Up and Away.  What a cutie!  I paired him with paper from the Holly Jolly Digital Paper Pack.  Then I used my Copic Sketch markers to color him up like the paper.  My sentiment is from the Christmas Hugs Sentiment set.  All of these can be found at the Digital Delights Digi Shop.
