Celebrating 9!

 Welcome back crafty friends...HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Here we are in the year 2025...
 It's time for the Double D's first challenge in January and we are celebrating the blog's 9th birthday. How exciting is that?  I'm happy to be a part of this venture and team since the beginning 9 years ago. Congratulations to Darlene and Diane for the success of this challenge blog.
 
The theme is "Anniversary/Birthday". Share your anything anniversary or birthday project by linking up at the Double D "Anniversary/Birthday" post by Sunday, January 12th, to be in the prize draw.  You could be a top Creative Winner too.
 
Here's a fun and colorful mood board full of inspiration for you...
 

There's also a prize up for grabs to a winner chosen by random draw.
 
Crafter's Companion Gemini, "Let's Party" Stamp/Die Set
 
My inspiration came from three of the photos...
 
MAKE A WISH 
 
 I took this opportunity to make a card for our grandson's upcoming birthday.  He will be 9 and the January theme is always spot on for creating his card.  I used remnants from a birthday collection and added some gold accents.  The balloon strings are gold thread, the 9 is a gold sticker and I made a circular frame with gold cardstock.  
 
From my stash...
Neenah Bright White Cardstock
Paper Studio Matte Gold Specialty Paper
Photoplay Camp Happy Bear Collection
Tutti Designs Dotted Nesting Circle

 Come on over to the Double D and play along!
You could be a winner.

Happy New Year!
