Hey there, Bleeps! I hope you all had a very merry Christmas! This week will be another short one to bring in 2010! How exciting! So, today I am sharing a New Year's card and treat inspired by 2S4Y layout and featuring a treat bag by Creative Cuts and More filled with caramel and chocolate popcorn! If you did not get a chance to send out holiday cards, you still have time to send out New Year's cards! *Clearing Throat* That's me who fits in that category! How is it that I can make a gazillion cards, but can't send them out? I believe that will be in at the top of my crafty New Year's resolutions!
Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy your week and have a grew New Year's celebration!

OK this is an epidemic. I haven't heard of not one cardmaking blogchickie who made bunches of Christmas cards and got them all sent out. I made the cards....early at that....had plenty of time...but didn't get them all sent out and I have no good reason why. New Year's cards are a nice make-up *giggles* Black and red and silver...the perfect New Year's colors!
Gorgeous! Love the goodies too! :) Kathy
Very sweet! I love red and black together- especially in non valentine's projects.
Gorgeous Ashley! I am the same way, bad about giving out cards on time or even at all. I like to call my self a card maker not a card giver. :) Hehe! I cheated this year and had my cards printed.
I'm with Maile this year... a major card maker... a horrible card giver! Lol! Shooting for New Year's cards, but everyone may just end up with early Vday Cards...LOL!
Your project is perfect! Love it! And that chocolate popcorn looks divine!
aah - me too! I'm also making a resolution to send cards, not just make them.
love this one you did and the fabbie sketch!
Ashley, great card,love Laura's sketch and you used it so nicely! Luv the colors! I did send out my holiday cards but never sent New Yr's! hmm...gotta ponder on that! no new yr's resolution for me, i did it all this yr, hehe, jk!

Great card Ash. I love the colour combo on this one.
While I did get cards sent out I realized I need to come up with a much easier version for next year with way less cutting. I even saved my address label list!! Mind you my list only has about 30 people on it.
gorgeous set! love your take on Laura's sketch!
Oh great card. I love the colors!
lovely!
Stunning card Ashley! I love the colour combo on this :)
Cute card and puff box. That puff box shape would make a cute owl or bird.
Ashley I love this little set!! The simplicity is so elegant!
