First Card 2009...


I really can't believe it is 2009. It doesn't seem long since we celebrated the turn of the century and thought everything (electrical) would fall apart because the computer chips weren't happy about the zeros or something along those lines.
Anyway no planes dropped out of the sky then or now and everything kept in working order - well more or less!!
My first card for the New Year is a 'Thank you' one for a dear friend and also for the challenge at http://tandastamps.blogspot.com/ which is 'Thank you , Thank you , Thank you'. I guess we all have lots of thank yous to both say and send this week.
I have used some fabulous papers I got for Christmas by Papermania and a Cuddly Buddly stamp for the main image. The image has been coloured using my new Promarkers (love them - thank you for encouraging me to get them Chrissie) and water colour crayons. The criss cross ribbon was created using a Cuttlebug border die.

Gorgeous Ann - love the colours. Isn't it good to get away from Christmas cards and get into Spring colours?

Ann, you are just too funny! We had the same conversation here...that it seems we were all getting ready for the Y2K "0" experience and now it's 2009, whew! Though I hear they did have some trouble with some sort of hand held computer/digital device! Oh well, we will survive!
Your card is gorgeous! Love all the intricate work!
Happy New Year!
Blessings, Maria

Glad you like your pro markers. I have some but haven't got any lavenders/mauves so must get some more. Love this card and the Cuddly Buddly image.
