This is the first duel of the new year. Our hostesses this month were LJ and Darlene. Our theme this time was "New Year".
Here is what LJ said to the Divas....."Your kit will involve a little bit of creativity on your part, and it's a bit different than anything we have done before. Your kit will contain an image of a January 2018 Calendar, The actual size of the calendar is 2.25 X 3.25. Now know ya'll are thinking huh? that's it? Ha Well Darlene and I are asking you to incorporate your own stamps with the calendar image to make a "New Year" Card. IT doesn't have to be new years themed, you can pick out one of those crazy holidays, or a baby image, (maybe you know someone who is expecting this month) or whatever you chose."
So....I went a different direction....yep, that's sort of normal for me! I decided to check out those "crazy holidays" for the month! I found out that January 10 is "Bittersweet Chocolate Day". Well, as far as I'm concerned....dark chocolate can be everyday!!! LJ also sent (along with the calendar) some wonderful papers/embellishments. I decided to use the sunburst technique so that I could use a sample of each paper. I know it's a little hard to see but, there are 7 different papers for the background! I'm using this card as a birthday card for my brother-in-law.
Thanks, LJ for giving me the opportunity to "think outside" the box!! Make sure you mark your calendars for next year....January 10....Bittersweet Chocolate Day!!! Chocolate ON!!!!!!
