Getting ready for the New Year....

We love to keep our children's heritage. So, this week, we are getting ready for Chinese New Year, which is on Thursday. It is the year of the rabbit, so I thought I would do something fun for the ones who share celebrating this holiday with us. It is really difficult to find cards for the holiday. There are some at Hallmark each year, but they are often the same design and are not really all that fun!

I love this image! It comes from Mo Manning at Mo's Digital Pencil. I am a big fan of her work, and look forward to upcoming releases. This image is so personal for us as it looks like Miss Q does in her little piglet snow suit. Unfortunately, the colours don't come through well as it was taken with my phone.

Cardstock is Bazzill. Image is stamped on Bella's Best Paper. Patterned Paper is from the "Ballad of Mulan Collection" - Hall of Brightness by Piggy Tales. I used the deckled edge ovals and rectangles nestabilities and Stampin' Up Ribbon and punch. The Chinese stamps on the front are from A Bunch Of Fun and the inside sentiment is computer generated. Copics were used to colour it in (R81, R83, R27, R29, E00, E01, E11, E51, E71, E70, RYR01 & YR00). I finished it off with Bella Dots in the Glitter Poppy and a heart punch was used by Marvy.

I have also included a picture of Aidan from last year's celebrations. We go out for a dinner that the local Chinese-Canadian Association hosts with our very good friends every year and it is always so wonderful to see the kids with their friends celebrating such a fun and time honoured event! For our friends and family who celebrate, look for these cards in the mail this week! :)
