Hello and New Year!! Do you have any crafty resolutions this year? I am considering trying to shop less. Not making any promises, except just to think about it.
It's time for another challenge at CASology. This week, our cue word is Cold. Perfectly fitting for this time of year. It's even been pretty cold here in San Diego (60 degrees--yikes!)
I pulled out some friendly cold weather critters for my card. I have kept my card CAS by using mostly white with a few bits of color, and also by clustering all my focal elements in one part of my card.
Now it's your turn. How does COLD inspire you? I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.
Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team. This is the first week our new teammates are designing alongside us, so please make sure you stop by to see what they are up to.

Ha! I'm with you on the shopping thing. Let's make a pact to THINK about shopping less this year and then next year we can take the next step of actually shopping less. Can't just be blundering wildly into these major life changes all at once...
ReplyDeleteAs for you card you always rock those adorable polar bears!
I'll join you in thinking about shopping less, but them you go and use these adorable polar bears that keep calling to me. They are adorable and perfectly clustered and colored on this card, Joyce.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Joyce! What a darling card ,loving the icy mounds behind the cute bears! We can try and shop less,right? :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Joyce! I like your resolution...I have something silimar in mind (use it or lose it), along with drinking more water every day. I adore your polar bears, they are just too cute...I assume it is not 60 degrees where they are? ;) That sounds pretty good to me...I'm apparently living in the wrong state!
ReplyDeleteDarling card, but I am having trouble feeling your "cold weather". I'm a transplant from CA to MN! teehee Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteSaying you plan to shop less is a good start Joyce!! Love this friendly pair on your card and the icebergs behind them. This is super cute!
ReplyDeleteSo cute...love that yummy bucket of colorful fish and those sweet striped scarves, did you knit those for your sweet pair of polar bears? Adorable card.
ReplyDeleteOooo this is gorgeous! I love that you have used white on white! And those scarves are a perfect little splash of colour!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Xoxo Olga
Gotta love those bears, Joyce.

'Cold' inspires me to leave the craft-room and sit by the fire, Joyce! But your darling little bears are warming me up ... so cute, perfectly colored, and LOve the glaciers!
ReplyDelete=]
Love the subtle shading on your polar bears! Gonna have to try that...I'm not so good with coloring animals and critters as you know. Happy New Year Joyce!
ReplyDeletePerfect for this week's theme--love all the white! And those bears are so adorable. It makes me shiver just to see them standing in front of icebergs!
ReplyDeleteThose fun bears fit perfect for this challenge and lovely to see some food with them! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteSo adorable Joyce. I have been loving playing with this set!
ReplyDeleteI just love this card, it's just perfect! Thank you so much for playing along and for sharing your project with us over on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog... :)
ReplyDeleteI adore these cute polar bears, Joyce ... they're fabulous with the pops of colour! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! Smiling here at those bears and their catch of the day! Colors are amazing against the white.. adorable!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Joyce! December seemed to pass in a blink and with it, seemingly no opportunity to leave comments! Apologies galore! Hope the thought bubbles of 'oohs and aahs' reached you! Catching up on your New Year creations and your darling polar bears are the perfect starting point! So sweet; love the iceberg background! "Thinking" about shopping less is also on my radar, however, I second Jen's comment (too funny!). We don't want to get too carried away in acting hastily...*grin* (The Concord and 9th release already has me tempted...)
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
I'm totally in love with your card Joyce! I adore those bears, the icebergs, and the fishies :)
ReplyDeleteHey Joyce!! I'm trying to do less spending this year too Joyce. I have so much stuff from last year that I haven't used yet. I love your card. Those bears are on my list but I'm trying to hard to hold off. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!!!! I love your maybe resolution....I'm trying to work on that, too! That and destashing...I'm doing better on the latter...
