Happy New Year!!!

My daughter and I stayed up to see the Old Year out and the New Year in; As a result, I've been a bit sleepy all day. However, that hasn't stopped me from getting some scrapbooking done.

I finished a layout using some of my favorite Stampin' Up! papers.

This layout uses designer papers from the Thoroughly Modern set. Those colors are so nice! I teamed the paper with coordinating Sahara Sand and Bermuda Bay papers. I used the scallop border punch to create a scalloped strip of Rose Red to put across the center of the page. The strip is accented with a piece of lace that I found lying around in my stash. The title was created using some chipboard elements that I recently purchased from the SU clearance sale. I used my In Color Rose Red ink to sponge onto the chipboard and then stamped the title with Bermuda Bay ink. I secured the bookplate to the page with a couple of brads.

I know that the finished page is simple, but I really like it!

I'll be back in the next few days to give you details about the upcoming Sale-a-bration, one of my favorite annual events that Stampin' Up! sponsors. For now, I think I'll go grab a little rest.
