I'm sure you couldn't have guessed that the ones with the big yellow arrows are mine (subtle huh).
 
 
Here are Jinks and Baker showing off.
 

 
 
Nothing more fun than spending time with friends!
 
See you tomorrow with a few more,

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR - I'm stopping by today to wish everyone a happy & healthy new year and to share a tag for the first day of 2016.

I've been playing with some of the fabulous new papers from Elizabeth Craft Designs called "Through the Lens" designed by Els van de Burgt.  I feel in love with these papers at first sight and couldn't wait to start using them. There are three categories, Wood, Metal & Stone and they are all just beautiful.  They will be available soon.  Today I'm using Metal for the background and Stone for the brick mortar.


 
 The paper and dies I used are linked below.
 
OK, I see that the theme for Mixed Media Monthly Challenge is "Time Flies", this tag will fit that theme perfectly.
 
 
I had no idea when I made this that it would fit so many other challenges out there in blogland but I will also be adding it to Crazy 4 Challenges. They want "Z", for zipper of course.
 
 
Hope this is your best year yet!!!
