Happy New Year’s and a Quick Project

Happy 2014, everyone!  Isn’t this image from the Graphics Fairy a hoot?  Since we are supposed to get more snow tomorrow, I thought this would be an appropriate image to wish everyone a “Bonne Annee” which I am assuming means a good year! 

I have a really quick little project to post today!  I found these cute “chipboard” cards from Ephemera’s Vintage Garden here, and they were perfect for the gift I wanted to give my girlfriend Sharon.  She is one of my biggest card customers and we are at a point in our lives where we don’t need a thing, so I thought to give  her a choice of some greeting cards would be perfect!  However, I didn’t want to just give her a gift certificate to my own “shop”, but I thought a punch card would be fun!  I did the sentiment on the computer, printed it on a card, cut it out and added ten little images around the outside that could be punched each time she redeemed a card.  Here ya go:

I used a font called “Mom’s Typewriter” for the heading, and my favorite little Itty Bitties for the punch spaces:

Then I used some miscellaneous DP from my stash to make an envelope with my SU Envelope Punch Board…what a handy little gadget that is!  And she loved it!

Hope your New Year’s Eve was safe and you are all enjoying 2014 so far!

and then Grampy, doing the “assembly”!!!
