Happy New Year ~ Dream Big!

Good morning!  It’s Friday once again and a new Viva La Verve sketch is up and running over on the VLV forum.  Diva Teresa is giving us lots of creative freedom with this fabulous sketch! 

 

I picked snowflakes for my round image as it’s Winter and I’m still not quite ready to bring out the Valentine stamps.  I hadn’t used any of the lovely Crate Paper Sleigh Ride paper I got last month, so I picked some wintery papers that didn’t say “Merry Christmas,”  lol.  I added “Dream Big” as a new year mantra to remind us that anything is possible with a new year here!  I was tricky with the Ribbon Banner die!  I die cut one banner, stamped “Happy New Year” onto it, then trimmed it down to be the perfect tag for the New Year stamp!  I hope you’ll play with us each week.  If you do, you could win $100 to spend in the Verve Store!  Check out the new January Sale…there’s a great selection of Love/Valentine stamps and dies on sale!  Thanks for visiting and have a great start to your weekend!
