Happy New Year!

Happy 2010! I had such a fabulous 2009 and I am looking forward to this new year. I had a great Christmas break spent with family and friends and now I am ready to get back to the same old routine. (with maybe a little added exercise?!) Including some much needed creative time! I've found great friends through my blog and Design Teams and wish each of you a prosperous 2010!

My card for today has the sentiment "be happy" and I plan to keep that thought throughout the year! The trees and sentiment are both from Unity's December stampin' store kit. I colored the trees with my Copic markers and added some Christmas red stickles to the hearts. I outlined the sentiment with my chocolate atyou spica glitter pen to make it a bit more prominent. Do you recognize the layout? It is Jen's sketch for you to try for this week and she is offering an awesome prize for those who participate!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I really appreciate all of my visitors and those who take the time to comment! Happy New Year!
