CAS contest, Oldies but Goodies and OLW

I entered this CAS card into the CAS contest over at SCS to be on the Monday Design Team.  Rules, you needed a CAS card, theme of a holiday (I picked New Year's) and a ribbon.  Easy enough.  I also entered this in the Oldies but Goodies challenge - use glitter.  I like this challenge site because it gives me the opportunity to use my dust-collected stamps.  This stamp is Annette Watkins from 1993!  I totaly love the font!


























This card took me almost 4 hours to make!  Good grief but my mind would not see it!  I just laugh when a CAS card is so difficult.  The end result your like "Wow - that SHOULD of taken 10 min max!"  I am putting this into the OLW challenge - she threw me by having inspiration pictures of cakes.  I am happy with my end result though.
Thanks for stopping by~~
