Cheers to a New Year!

Happy 2020 to you!  Every year I make a promise to myself to use up some stash.  I think it's working... my paper stash is about 6 inches smaller than it was three years ago.  As part of keeping my resolution, I made New Year's Thank You cards to send to my students.  They were so kind to me.  These cards were a wonderful blend of new and old.

I used my last 4 pieces of Vintage Violet, that I'd had for 15 years.  (I bought it to make Christmas cards the first year I started stamping.).  The last of the scraps were used to cut out the cheers.  I then used the last of some sparkly blue that I had.  Even all the paper from the 4 spring cards came straight from my scrap pile.  Only the inserts were new paper.

The Cheers to the New Year is from the SU holiday catalogue and I had to have it since I never manage to get Christmas cards out.  By the time I've written report cards in November, I can't string a coherent sentence together.  I tend to write my cards right after Christmas and send them in the first little bit of the new year, or as Valentine cards.  I figure as long as everyone gets a card over the course of the year, it's all good.  I have a good stash of Halloween cards; I may use them this year.
