Happy Chinese New Year


Today the Chinese New Year starts and this year is the 
year of the rat. Goodbye year of the pig.

The Rat:
If you are born in the year 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984,
1996 of 2008 than you are a rat and rats are believed to be
very industrious and thrifty, dilligent and positive.

Of course I wanted to make a card for the new year and I came across
 a wonderful tutorial here by Frenchie. The tutorial is HERE.
It is a tent card.

I added a little of my own.
The heart is a stamp by Michael Strong
and the sentiment is from my stash.
On the side of the rat I added the flower stamp by Michael Strong.
The are embossed in silver. I was inspired by seeing this decoration
when I googled for the rat image.

Thank you for looking
and have a creative day!

Bugaboo Anything Goes Challenge

This week the challenge on the
is Anything Goes.

Here is another desk calender (yes, January is my calendar month!).
I used a piece of 8,5 x 11 inch cardstock for the base of the calendar.
Score horizontal at 4 - 8 - 9 -10 inch.

The images are by Bugaboo (boy with board)
Club Scrap (digital Coffeehouse kit)
and the sentiment I typed and printed with the computer.

It took a few sample prints to get the right size
of the digital image to be able to fit the mini calendar.
I bougt this in a hobby shop, but you can make your own
by printing this calendar HERE. Cut it up and staple it
together.
The image is colored with SU! Stampin Blends.

These images are all digital Club Scrap.

Thanks for looking
and have a great creative day!
