Cut Borders From the Past

This is my last post for 2015!  Tomorrow will be the first Blog Hop of 2016!  While this card is not your typical Happy New's Years greeting, the sentiment is still true.   Don't stop playing in 2016, play with new things, play with new tools, play with new stamps, learn a new game, learn a new technique.  Continuing to play and to learn helps to keep your brain young!  

When I first read the directions for the Cut Border technique, I thought of these froggie stamps. I stamped them near the edge of my card stock. I colored the froggies with my Copic Markers.  The verse is from Stamper's Anonymous.

I punched holes for the brads. Then put the ribbon in the middle of the brad prongs, and pushed the prongs in the punched hole.  That created the gathers in ribbon.  Fun, isn't it?

Continue to learn, continue to play, and continue to share.  Have fun and enjoy 2016.  I hope your 2016 year is full of great blessings for each of you. Even if sad things happen (and they probably will) look for the good even in the sad occurrences of life.  I have had to learn to do this.

Blessings on each of you!
