Great choice of colors this week, Mary! I added your dessert option also...celebrating the new year 2014.
And for this weeks tea potter party...we are exchanging cards with each other! The spotlight is resolutions...my resolution this year is to open wide as many doors as I am presented.
I love my studio...it never fails to wrap me in all the goodness and creativity that living artfully brings...I hope you feel the same way when you open the doors to yours. Tonight, I walked down thinking about what to do with Mary's wonderful festive colors, Black, Silver, and White. My first thought was to dress one of my elegant ladies in brocade...and then it happened...I opened the doors to the studio and the first thing I saw was the sentiment stamp 'There are DOORWAYS I haven't opened"...what an opening for the new year!
I stamped the Craftsman style door on black cs, embossing with clear ep. Hand cut all the windows, placed the sentiment in the middle and then added vellum around all the tiny window openings. The #14 is one of Tim Holtz's enamel do-dads. And I couldn't resist the funky arm pointing the way into the new year. Add a bit of silver scrap and tinsel and I am ready!!!
How about you...what new doors will open for you, new paths, new hills to climb, new friends to bring along. Here's wishing every health and happiness to you...

I can only echo what everyone has said, what an awesome thought provking card!!! LOVE the sentiment, it really does give one pause to think of possibilities! The 14 on the enamel oval is so cool and perfect for 2014! I can remember thinking the year 2000 seemed so far off in the future and now it is 2014! Wishing all the best for you and yours!

Such an awesome example of what today is really all about. Out with the old and In with the new, and I'm always ready for something new to happen. You've created the perfect card for the New Year, Susan! Love the silver edgings.......Happy New Year to you, and may you be richly blessed~
