Toy's Haven

Good morning, friends!

Well, I am going to give you the Happy New Year greeting now, as I do not intend to stamp at any time tomorrow!   I wish for all of you, the best of everything in the new year.   May the best of 2009 be the worst of 2010.

I really wasn’t sure I wanted to stamp today either, but when I saw the WT challenge on Splitcoasters, I decided to use the opportunity to make a card for my aunt Marci.   I don’t normally do New Years cards.   Let’s face it, I have a tough enough time getting Christmas, and birthday cards done!   But, Marci is in need of some cheer.

There is a whole lot of distressing going on here.   Every layer is sponged and distressed (I use my fingernail).   The good thing is, I now need a manicure … that’s good because I deserve it! LOL

Here are my deets:

Putting my best foot forward in 2010.   Won’t you join me for the adventure?!   I hope you have a blessed day and remember.. if you’re going to go out and celebrate, please be safe!

Hugs!
