Welcome 2023!


When I was growing up my parents used to say how fast time went by and I didn't understand that.  I now say the same thing and I still don't understand how that can be true.  But here we are, welcoming in another year.  Wow!  where did the time go!   Welcome 2023!

Today I'm welcoming in the New Year with this fun card featuring the Hand Drawn Dots Stamp Set and Alphabet Alamode Dies from the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue.  You'll be able to order these items starting on January 5th and you're definitely going to want them!  They are so much fun!  

Check out the ombre effect I was able to create using three different shades of purples.
