Welcome 2011 with the Shabby Tea Room

It's time for a new challenge from the Shabby Tea Room. Today's challenge is to welcome in the year 2011 by using 11 elements on your card.

I admit - I got carried away and I welcomed in the new year - TWICE! LOL If you count all the layers and embellies on my card there are 22!!

I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch but I did have to move the Kangi symbol to the other side of the card so I didn't cover up the Chinese lantern. 

This card features all new digital paper from My Time Made Easy created by the very talented Kristin. It's part of the Plum Pretties set and it's just beautiful. I also used some stamps from the So Fortunate stamp set as well.

I also whipped up a super fast gift box also from My Time Made Easy to go with my card using some of the same papers. This template is called So Fortunate and it's super easy but really fun. I truly put this template together in about 20 minutes total.

The inside of my card features stamps from the beautiful new MTME stamp set called So Fortunate designed by Catherine Doucette.

The template was sized to 85% of original size and perfectly holds this little tub of body butter. Just a little birthday something for a co-worker.

Final look at the card and the template. BIG thanks to the Shabby Tea Room for allowing me to step in as a Guest Designer this week.

Can't wait to see what you create. 

I'll have to pop back in tomorrow to link up supplies that I used. I go back to work tomorrow and have a crazy week ahead, packing up my son who is moving to Dallas.

Happy new year hugs and smiles.
