I'm so excited to finally be able to let you all know that I was chosen to be on the new Design Team for the Fusion Challenge! And today, Lesley is making the announcement of her new team on the Fusion Blog so hop over and check out who else is on the team! (they will also be posted on my side bar shortly!) The first Fusion Challenge of 2014 will be this coming Thursday, January 2nd.
As I'm sure you know, the Fusion challenge runs every other Thursday - and there is always a photo and a sketch inspiration - you can be inspired by one of them or combine the two! I hope you can drop by again on Jan 2nd and see my very first creation for the Fusion Challenges!
And since I'm here - I'm sharing a card that I made for the last PTI Make it Monday for 2013 - Angled Backgrounds. I needed a thank you card to send to my husbands' brother and sister in law who live in Killington, VT. They sent us a pint of Pure Vermont Maple Syrup for Christmas (yum!). Since he skis every day, I thought I'd focus on snow while also celebrating the ringing in of 2014! The challenge was to lay strips of patterned paper at angles to create a pretty background. This was SO fun to do - and I love the look! Check out Ashley's how to video here
I used PTI Holiday Flourishes and Swirls paper for my background. The dies are PTI By the Numbers, One Liners - Happy and Wonderful words - Snow
Here you can see how I popped up the words and every other number on foam tape.

I'm also entering this in the Cas-ual Friday's challenge.
Wishing everyone a very safe and happy New Year's Eve and a crafty 2014! Tonight Kent and I are staying in - he's recovering from shoulder surgery done last week and it's still pretty painful so he's dozing a lot on his meds. We will watch the New Year's Festivities on TV - probably switching between the New York City and Boston celebrations!

Congratulations! You will have so much fun working with Lesley and her team! This is such a fun card--I have not seen those PTI dies! And I sure have enough scraps of paper to try that background technique! Happy New Year to you---my original blog friend, you're the one who got me started! Hope 2014 is a fabulous one for you! ♥
