Something New for the New Year - Stampers Dozen Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

Are you all loving the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season? I absolutely love it and wish I had more time to  enjoy all there is that is available. My sister and I have been traveling to see Christmas light displays all over the past few weeks. We have a list that we still want to see, but I know we will have to save a few for next year. We were going to go tonight, but I grounded myself from fun so that I could wrap some gifts. Just be sure, I'd rather look at lights. 

Tonight with the Stampers Dozen Blog hop we are sharing something new for the new year with you. January is the magic month of a brand new mini catalog. I have to tell you, I love it. There are so many great new stamps, accessories, and papers. It's not easy to pick my favorite that's for sure. If you would like a copy of the mini catalog, please let me know and I'll get one out to you.

I decided to use the ballet set first from my preorder (demonstrators get to preorder from the mini catalog one month before it launches to everyone else). Why did I choose this? Well, as many know my daughter has been a dancer since she was very young. She's not so young anymore (sorry, Britt, but it's true), but she is now a dance teacher.  This coming weekend the studio is doing a Nutcracker recital and she asked me to be the narrator. Once a dance mom, always a dance mom. I certainly thought my dance mom days were over. LOL

I made these cards for my daughter and the owner of the studio. I'll write a little note to each one and give them to them after the recital. 

Did you notice a difference between the two?  One has ribbon and the other doesn't. I'm not sure which one I like better. What are your thoughts?

I also stamped the inside of the cards, but left room for me to write in as well. I like the look of stamping the little greeting over the ballerina in the lower left-hand corner. I've never done that before, but I will be doing it again.

Don't forget to keep hopping. You'll love the ideas.
