Happy New Year!

I know some of us in the world are already into the New Year, but here in PA we still have a few hours left in 2013! 
 
While we're waiting to celebrate, I thought I'd pop in and share a card or two that were made recently, just because I wanted to!

 I wanted to use the Memory Box mitten die that I had gotten as part of my early Christmas present from my hubby!  I also broke out a tool that I used often as a kid to make pom poms.  I don't have a pic of it, but all it is is a set of plastic circles in different sizes.  I used the smallest set for these, and some Twinery twine that I had won on a blog hop.  Cute, huh?  :)
 
Here is George from Stamp Fairy again!  I just love this adorable snowman!  In this scene, he is obviously getting ready to decorate his tree for Christmas!
Even though I made these cards for fun, I am going to link them up to Hazel's regular Christmas challenge, where she is asking for any Christmas cards made that weren't shared yet.
 
Well, we had to stop at Dunkin Donuts to do this, and we are getting hungry for the shrimp we are making tonight, so I'm ending this post and getting linked up!
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE, and may 2014 be your best year yet!

Merry Monday #88, and hello to all my bloggy friends!

Greetings everyone!  It has been SO LONG since I posted on here with a card to share!  I was still in touch though, keeping my eyes on all of your craftiness!  :)  I just wanna share this really quick before I show you my card...

This is a pic of our Pretty Kitty...yes that was the name I picked for her!  She was hit by a car the day before Thanksgiving,.  My girls and I were so sad!  Even now, I wonder why it happened, because she NEVER went near the road when a car drove by.  All we can guess is that she was chasing a barn cat and didn't realize where she was headed...I miss her fuzzy little face greeting me when I came home from work!
 
Well enough of that, here is my card for this week's Merry Monday:
 
 
The image is from the Whimsie Doodles set called 'Tis the Season Images.  I followed the layout from a card on my Pinterest "Card" board.  The dp is from the Winter Wonderland 12x12 pack from K and Company.
Well, I guess I'd better end for now and get this linked up.  We are going to see my grandmother this afternoon, and I'm not even showered yet!
 
Take Care and Merry Christmas!!

ETA:  Adding this to Hazel's Christmas Extra, and to her weekly Christmas challenge too!
