Wishing you a Happy New Year!  From the bottom of my heart, I would love to wish you health, peace, success, love and lots of stamping…  2016 had it's highs and lows and we are super excited for the new year to come.  I guess I never mentioned on my blog but the best 2016 highlight was when Chris proposed to me… So many emotions, he is such a romantic and traditional guy.  I'm very grateful and blessed for his love.  Therefore, 2017 will bring on a wedding and a name change.  Can't wait to start the prepping and to become Kim McGillis… We are planning a family trip shortly with all our children and then I will start with the wedding planning… I promise to post about it. 

We put all our holiday decorations away today.  We were super productive therefore I only had time to create a 5 min easy card… This card includes products from 3 catalogues, The holiday catalogue that is retiring this week, the new occasion catalogue that starts on January 4th and the Annual catalogue.  I will list all the products below.  The color combo of very vanilla, basic black and gold was perfect for a a New Year's card.

I wanted to highlight the new star blast edgelits dies from the occasion catalogue.  This edgelit also has a coordinating stamp set called Birthday Blast #142866.  If you would like to receive the new Occasion catalogue, please don't hesitate to email me.

The greeting comes from the stamp set It's a Celebration from the holiday catalogue.  I adore the gold sequin trim.  It's 1/4" wide and is perfect to highlight a straight line to my project.  The sequin comes from the annual catalogue and it's available in 4 colors:  bermuda bay, blushing bride, gold, silver.

Tip of the day:  Did you know that stampin up designs most designer series paper double sided and that one side is designed to be used all year long.  For instance, This Christmas Specialty designer series paper is not only used for Christmas, it's opposite side is perfect for all year round stamping projects… I love how the music notes are coordinating with my card today and I can promise that I'll be using this paper for my valentine projects as well.
