COLORING IN THE NEW YEAR!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! 

 As we welcome in 2014, I have to reflect on 2013. It was not my favorite year for sure. Although some of my favorite events happened this year! I had a couple of great & incitful trips. I gained a fantastic daughter-in-law. But it was a year of bad timing for me! Nothing worked out!!  So I'm chalking it up to an "odd" year with "13" in it!! Looking forward to a great "even" year ahead!!!

So I am thrilled to begin my blog year with a Coloring Down the Lines Blog Hop!!! These ladies on this hop are so amazing! They have creatively inspired me all year long!  Plus, their kind and supportive words are so special to me!  I just love my Wednesday mornings!!

So Happy New Year to all our blog hoppers-expecially if you've hopped over from Carol's blog! Helen is taking the week off, but will be back next week! So I'm super excited to be connected to Carol's amazing creativity this week!!

So on to this week's blog hop!  This week's colors are

Pink Pirouette, Pool Party, Crumb Cake 

   OR

Pink Pirouette, Sahara Sand, Always Artichoke

Added Piece - Add sparkle for the new year!

 I decided to go with the first group for no real reason! lol  I really wanted to give you a peek into the new Occasions Catalog that begins on January 3!!! 

I finally got a minute to play with my new goodies!!

So here's the card-what's new that you see???

 

Yup, the stamp set! Are those tiny flowers you ask? With a coordinating punch you ask? Well yup I answer!!! That is the new Petite Petals stamp set with the Petite Petals Punch! Better yet-they come in a bundle!!! Love all those bundles-and there are a ton of them in the new catalog!!!! 

The sentiment of course is the all-favorite Teeny Tiny Wishes!!! 

Oh and what is that amazing woodgrain background?? You have so many questions this week! Why it's the new Hardwood stamp from the new catalog! This is a MUST HAVE!!! It is sooooo pretty!!!

So here's a close-up of the flowers & the "bling" for the challenge!!!

So hope you enjoyed a sneak peek into the new Occasions Catalog!!!  It comes live on January 3, but that also means that the 

 Holiday Catalog will disappear-gone for good! So if there's anything you want from that catalog, NOW is the time to order those goodies!!!

So now hop on over to say Happy New Year to Liz at her blog!!! Let's see how she "sparkles" this week!!!

So watch for the new catalog stuff!!! You will love this one!!!! 

Happy New Year

and Happy Stampin'!!!!
