DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge #195 - Anything Goes

Happy Thursday!! Just a few more days until Santa visits!! I hope he brings you all the crafty goodies you desire :) It's time for the last DL.ART Thankful Thursday challenge of 2016. The theme for Challenge #195 is Anything Goes. If you use the code l01210, Diana will give you 10% off your DL.ART purchase.


Since this will be my last post of the year, I decided to make Happy New Year cards :) I can't believe it is almost 2017!! Where do the years go??


For my cards, I again used the DCWV Twinkle Glints stack that my dear friend Sherrie of Sherrie Scraps With Passion sent to me!! I have used every single page in this stack - not kidding!! I love it so much!! The sparkle in real life is amazing :)


For my cards, I wanted a sparkly, festive New Year's celebration feel, so I used a Die-Versions Sweet Petites Party Crowd die...don't they look like they're having fun??!! The circle the flowers are on is a Yvonne Creations Holly Jolly Nesting Frame die. The banner is an Avery Elle Dotted Die. The numbers are from Tim Holtz's Block Talk die. Along the bottom is a Penny Black Bauble Border die.


The gorgeous flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts Autumn Blossom and Baby's Breath. The beautiful crinkle ribbon is Midnight Black from The Newspaper Bundle. A Pollystamps Stitched Button die was added on top with Black and White Twine from Diana's shop.


I am entering this in the following challenges:

1) Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Party Time
2) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday - Anything Goes
3) Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes


I am going to take a small break from blogging to spend the holidays with my family!! I hope you all have a very safe, happy and wonderful Christmas and a magical New Year!! I will catch up with you in the new year!! Merry Christmas dear friends!! Love you all and big holiday hugs :)

  3. Those dancing dies are the coolest. Pardon if I missed your previous postings, been too busy. I'm in blogland this morning for a short period of time and then I'm off until the New Year.
    Just popping by to with you a very Merry Christmas Lisa. Take care and keep safe over the holidays.

  36. My sweetest friend, this is fit for the fanciest of New Years celebrations! The sparkly paper from Sherrie is gorgeous and oh how I want to ruffle up within those stunning flowers! Your use of dies is spectacular, as always. I love how the partiers nearly look like they're part of the paper design... it adds to the lovely elegance of the cards. :) The ribbon is lovely as ever. Beautiful work, my dearest Lisa! Merry Christmas (again!) and Happy New Year to you! May God bless your 2017 beyond what you can even imagine. :)

    Hugs and blessings,

  44. This is so beautiful! Sorry for the late comment. I would like to invite you to link with us again for our first Challenge this year at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with the encouragement found in 1 John 4:18-19 which tells us, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us." Have a blessed day!
