CR84FN #45 ~ 2012!
Welcome! With this being my first card of 2012; I thought I would make a card with my new Quickutz number dies to celebrate the new year. Aren't these fun! I'm playing along with CR84FN's color challenge of medium blue, orange and yellow.
I started off with a yellow gingham paper from Authentique stamped with a few DeNami flourishes. I added my orange die cut numbers and embellished them with some felt flowers and buttons from my stash. I had to dig to find something medium blue! I finally found one little scrap of paper and used it for my new sweet mini rolled rose die from My Favorite Things. LOVE this to pieces!!! I had one snippet left so I made a PTI tiny tag to even out the color distribution. The strip of orange border peeking out at the top are actually the bottoms of my new PTI heart border die. (Have you figured out that I got some stamping goodies for Christmas ~ hee!!!) And the number paper along the top is also from Authentique. My little celebrate sentiment is an A Muse stamp. A couple of doily scraps and a sprinkling of orange gems help me to ring in my new year of card making!

Don'tcha just love that die Lisa?! I have that one too and it's so, so cute! I really love the paper with the numbers 1-11 at the top of the card and then the big 2012- so cute and clever!!
Great card to start out the New Year with :)
This is a fantastic first card of the year Lisa. I love your paper selection, your new number die numbers, your rolled rose and the heart border peeking out at the top. What an all around great card!
WOW! This is a GORGEOUS card--love those papers. I love your large numbers--BEAUTIFULLY done!!!!
Oh, yes! That's gorgeous--LOVE the vibrant colors of this challenge, and you've definitely done a fabulous job with them! Sorry to have been MIA--the holiday was crazy! :)
What a great take on the challenge. Your colors are perfect and your design is fab!
Very cute, Lisa! This is such a vibrant, festive card--love the numbers and background papers! You are inspiring me to give this challenge a go (as soon as I stop sneezing, that is).
Oh girl, you totally rocked this color challenge! Wait til you see my card for it, you'll laugh like a little school girl. ;-) I did, anyway. I think I actually have an allergy to orange and yellow, and I think it's quite serious.
Anyway! Your card is gorgeous. Love the gingham with the heart border die (fabby!), and those little flowers, and the way you worked in that blue... You rock, girl. ;-)
Darling card Lisa! Love the little hearts and button blossoms! Thanks for joining along with CR84FN :)
So Sweet and BEAUTIFUL! Wonderful card and great take on those (to me very difficult) colors!
Have a great day, hugs, Karin
Wow, that is terrific, Lisa! You used the CR84FN colors beautifully, and I love those bold numbers. Well done!!
Gorgeous card - I really like the way the spots of blue really pop off the card! Thanks for playing along with CR84FN!
