Poppin' Up for the New Year

Happy New Year, y'all!  I've heard that you should spend New Year's Day doing the things that you want to be doing for the upcoming year...so far, 2025 will include working out, puppy snuggles, doing the dishes (ick), and having tea with my breakfast.  My plans for the rest of the day include being crafty, with stamping, scrapbooking, and cross stitching all on the docket, plus reading : ) Ryan and I started a new book last night, am excited to introduce him to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe!

So anyway...


I saw that on Facebook and had to yoink it to send to my dad.  And now, I have a card to share with a brand new stamp set!


This is not the first card I've made with Terrific Toadstoools from the soon-to-drop Occasions catalog, but it's the first one you're seeing here.  I used this week's Atlantic Hearts sketch:


And the Creative Colour Challenge:


I added just a bit of stamped-off Crumb Cake for the stems, but I thought these earthy tones would go well with the toadstools.

I think I'm going to ponder my goals for this year for a bit before I write about them here.  I always do goals instead of resolutions, I think goals is a better fit for my mindset.  So that's it for now, Ryan wants to watch a movie : )  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Terrific Toadstools
Ink:  Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake
Paper:  Early Espresso, Thick Basic White, Old Olive DSP
Accessories:  Speckled Dots (might not be the actual name but I can't find them online)
