Good evening all and welcome to another blog post.
We're expecting "snowmageddon" tonight (to quote my daughter) so the girls are preparing for a "snow day" tomorrow. Great fun when all the neighborhood kids come out to play and enjoy the snow.

Here is a gate fold Chinese New Year card that I created for a dear lady that has worked with my husband for years. During the New Year celebrations she turns the office into a feast, bringing in new and wonderful delicacies daily for everyone to enjoy during this special holiday.
The serpent on the front is a request I made to Teri of Delicious Doodles and it can be found here. I was so excited when I saw what she had drawn and thought it was perfect for a Chinese greeting inside.
The serpent really is not pink....it's Chinese red irl...must be something with my camera again...hehe! I used gold Smooch to give him some bling. Gold mirror card for backing, corners and SB Marvelous squares. Coloured with Copics.
Here's a look inside:
I used a digi from Bugaboo on the center panel. Chinese greeting done in Word as well as the sentiment. DP Graphic 45 Bird Song Collection

Thank you so much Jen for your lovely comments. It's always my pleasure...we think your Mom is the greatest. I believe I cut the shape using Spellbinders Layered elegant swirl die. I can make a few for you if you would like...just let me know. pkuzenko@sympatico.ca
