***Happy New Year***

Hello Friends!   Just stopping by today to wish you all a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR that will be filled with hope and new beginnings!   Lets celebrate by Ringing out the old Ringing in the new and planning to Make Things Happen for a great 2013!
 
The following is my final creation for 2012.  All the snow on the ground along with this fun New Year's quote inspired this next snowy card. :)
 
"The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows."

  9. Hi America. I found your blog via Pinterest. I wanted to let you know that many of the images that you have pinned or uploaded to your board "Printables, downloads and digital images" are NOT free images - a lot of them a copyright Magnolia stamps which should never have been uploaded. There are many Hanglar stamps and Sarah Kay stamps as well. It would be advisable to remove them from your board. I understand this is most likely done in error so I wanted to let you know so you could rectify the issue,
    thanks in advance
