Wow, New Year's Eve, can you believe it?! I hope you have some fun plans for this evening. For us, we will be at home having dinner with friends--my type of New Year's Eve! Well, I finally found my crafting groove again--a new box of pre-ordered SU goodies will do it every time! Challenge blogs also help get back in the swing of stampin' too. I found some fabulous color inspiration at Colour Q:
and this great sketch at a new-to-me blog, Skipping Stones Design:
I paired these two with one of my favorite new stamps from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog called You're My Type.
I just love that typewriter, don't you? Embossed in black it is really standout--all shiny and solid:
Yes, I did fussy-cut the typewriter..crazy, right...but I really wanted to give it the pop of my one color, red, in the circle behind it. Love that typewriter font sentiment too--just the perfect fit on the scrolling paper.
Cheers to you, my friends....here's hoping 2012 is a bright new year for you and yours! See you next year...

Very pretty card Nance, of course being from the business world (years ago now) I really like the typewriter and the ability to stamp something on the paper, so cute. I also love the Night & Day paper and can you believe I have that one! Love the touch of red too it really sets off the focal point & your signature inside is adorable!
Glad to hear you're spending NYE with friends, tell them Momma Nancy says HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Luv,
Mom
Nancy...this card is super cute..love it. I would definitely love a tutorial on MDS/getting a full sheet printed without a border. I had the waste of paper when I print. Thanks so much.
Very cute Nance! I love that sweet typewriter!!!! The MDS paper is perfect! Happy New Year to you!!!
Great take on the sketch and a fun card. Happy New Year to you and may 2012 fulfill some of your heart's desires :)
Such a great card, Nance! I love the pop of red with the white and black. Wishing you a wonderful Happy New Year as well!
Loving the colors on this!! The typewriter is on my wish list, but unfortunately, I couldn't buy everything I wanted! The glimmer heart is wonderful on this too! Puts me in the mood for Valentines! Hope you have a wonderful new year!
That typewriter is so great. It reminds me of one we had when I was a kid! The sentiment is sweet next to the shimmery heart and I love the heart on the inside.
Happy new year!!
Your card is absolutely awesome, it is my favorite stamp from the mini. The computer printed DP is perfect, of course I would love the tutorial. Happy New Year!

Nance love this cute typewritter. The little note is so cute. Your inside is as cute as the outside. I would LOVE any tut on the MDS printing. still struggling to learn what "I don't know!"... hugs.
