Hello! Boy, am I glad to be back. We got home from our road trip last weekend just in time for my lingering cold to turn into bronchitis, so I've been taking it easy and trying to catch up on rest for the last few days. I'm always reluctant to take antibiotics, but last night was the first decent night of sleep I've had for a while, so I guess it's worth it. :)
Enough about me, who's ready for a new Cloud9 Blog Hop? This month we're celebrating New Year's with a gorgeous inspiration photo from the blog Whimsy.

This card is a bit of a departure from my usual style. I love cards with an eclectic mix of elements but have a hard time pulling off that look myself.
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Kraft), WPlus9 Design Studio (White), Michaels (silver shimmer)
Stamps: WPlus9 Design Studio (A Pocketful: Halloween, Super Star, A Pocketful, Postmarked)
Ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black), white pen, silver glitter pen
Tools: Papertrey Ink (star die)
Other: EK Success (Scrabble stickers), manilla tag, vintage sheet music, silver thread, twill ribbon
Okay friends, it's time to link up your take on the photo at the Cloud9 blog! You'll find more inspiration from the team, including this month's Guest Designer, to help you get started.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit! Have a great day!
