Here is another New Year's card that I put together for the Exploring Cricut challenge this week. I also followed the Mojo Monday sketch for the week. Now maybe I'm the only one who gets this card, when I showed my husband my idea for this card, he didn't really think it would make a good New Year's card because no one would understand it. Well, that made me want to do the card even more - maybe just to spite him :) Anyway, all growing up and even now, the tradition in my family was to ring in the New Year by banging pots and pans outside at midnight. And I know that we weren't the only family doing it because I could hear other pots and pans being clanged in the neighborhood. So when I started thinking about this tradition, I pulled out From My Kitchen and cut the pot and pan and a couple spoons to put on my card. I even used some Washi Tape! I think it turned out super fun, but am I crazy or does this card make sense to you too? I would love to hear your family traditions to ring in the New Year.
I love this card-it made total sense to me-maybe it's a girl thing? Love the color combo! Thanks for joining us at Exploring Cricut this week!
