January Challenge for Crafty Gals




Good Monday Morning Friends!
My post for today is for my January Crafty Gals Challenge to make something with *New* as our theme.  Well, the stamps & accessories may not be new but I did make this birthday package for a new friend!  I do believe that qualifies for this month's challenge & I really needed to make Tayla something cute!!!  She goes to school with my daughter Bianca & she's also new here from South Africa.  Her fave colors are anything bright & neon so that is why I went out of my comfort zone just a bit to make part of her gift.  BTW, in case you're wondering; she absolutely LOVED this which made me really happy & I now have some new stamping buddies!!!!!

Please check out the rest of the group to see what beauties they came up with:
Lela
Melina
Athina
Carolina
Patty
Barb
RoRo Lee
Heather
Tracie
Diane

I am off to work on the rest of my class cards now.  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Supplies:  Happiest Birthday Wishes Stampset, Whisper White, Melon Mambo & Lucky Limeade Cardstock; Cheerful Treat DSP; Concord Crush Ink; Big Shot; Scallop Circle, Circle & Butterfly Dies; Scallop Circle, 1 3/8" Circle, 1 1/2" Circle, Decorative Label & Large Oval Punches;  Whisper White Satin & Melon Mambo Dotted Ribbon; SU!
