First of all I would like to wish all of you a very happy, healthy, and safe New Year. I hope that all of you are getting ready to bring in 2008. :) It is only an hour away for me.
I had hoped to post before tonight but due to my back going out the day after Christmas I am just now feeling better. So here is the first card that I have made since last week. Although I am not back to being the old me I'm getting better with each passing day and I am so grateful for that. :) Okay enough about me.
This is my first Valentines Day card for 2008.
Stamp: Lady Iris From Cornish Heritage Farms.
Card-Stock: Prism White, Black and Classic White.
Inks: Versafine Onyx Black and Crimson Red.
Designer Paper: Chiyorgami Washi. From Stamping Memories.
Embellishments: Black satin ribbon and gold charm both purchased from Stamping Memories.
I used my new lights and white tent to take this picture. The 2 lights that Wayne bought for me are awesome. However, only one of them has the true color bulb of 250 and the other has a 26 Watts of fluorescent. The white should be lots better as soon as I get the other 250 true light bulb. Not everyone carries them so we had to order it. :) Still I am very happy with how the colors of my card came out.
Okay, it is getting very close to midnight so I want to go and spend time with Wayne and watch the ball drop down in Times Square with him. Have you ever been to Times Square? I have many years ago and it is awesome. I love NYC!
One last thing before I go. Cornish Heritage Farms is having a sale. Here is some of the information: They have some very beautiful and awesome items go see for yourself. ;)

Happy New Year, Mary! No, I've never been to NYC, but have watched the ball drop several yrs. However, I fell asleep this yr & missed it! Your new picture-taking equipment is great!
