Happy New Year! And a NEW catalog!

Happy New Year! And a belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

It has been a crazy time at casa Tracey the last few weeks - with both good and bad things occurring at a ridiculous rate (great Christmas presents, food, family and an engagement for my nephew plus ruptured eardrum for me, hospital stay for pneumonia, and a tornado threat). It's like One Life to Live over here.

But, I am back with a new project for the New Year!

I had a love/hate relationship with the Mad Men show since sometimes it was over the top in its outrageousness. But, I loved the Don Draper outline they always showed.

So, when I saw this tuxedo man on the Cricut Suburbia cartridge, I knew I had my Mad Men look!

From the Suburbia cartridge, Tuxedo Man was cut at 3-3/4".
From the Photo Props cartridge, Happy New Year was cut at 2".
Card front in black is 5" x 5", white piece is 4-7/8" x 4-7/8" and the grey patterned paper is 4-1/2" x 4-1/2".

Loving You Is A Breeze PLUS GIVEAWAY!

I've got a fun giveaway at the end of this post so be sure to read until the end. :-)

Looking at the Cricut Suburbia cartridge, I saw this fun retro fan that I wanted to cut out.  Then, when I saw this super cute stamp set from Scrappy Moms with the "Loving You Is a Breeze" stamp, I knew I had the makings for a perfect card.

Check out Scrappy Moms Spring Fair Stamp set below:

The card is sized at 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and the fan is cut at 4-1/4".  I was worried about how well those skinny lines on the red layer would cut, but they did just fine.

The Cricut Suburbia Cartridge has a ton of great images!  Very Man Mad looking. Check them out below:

I'm not sure when I'll need the word art "naughty cat fight" shown above but I'll be ready with this cartridge!  Actually, that makes me want to do a layout about my two cats fighting...

Now for the GIVEAWAY!

Scrappy Moms Stamps has donated a stamp set for this week's giveaway!  But the best part is that the winner gets to pick out the stamp set!
