Happy New Year! I wish you much happiness in 2013 and a fresh start on all your resolutions both new and old.  Do you have a paper crafting resolution? Mine is to use at least one item from my stash on each card or scrapbook page.

I love it if I can get multiple uses out of my stamps.  This is Betsy's blossoms from StampinUp.   Spring/Summer set with flowers, birds.  But I have been able to use if for July4th,  (fireworks)  and now Christmas.  Just take a circle punch and cut a circle from a sticky note. Attach to center of flower then ink stamp,  remove before stamping and you have a wreath.  Bling is from my dear friend Stef, AKA Glitterbabe.  thanks.....
