My 2010 New Years/Holiday Card Original made for the
3rd Annual Holiday Card Swap from Brooklyn Bride!

For my job, I hunt daily through as many bridal blogs as I possibly can. I love to see what people are doing for their big days. I stumbled upon this opportunity when browsing through my top 5 bridal blogs {Once Wed, Style Me Pretty, Oh So Beautiful Paper, 100 Layer Cake + Brooklyn Bride}. I was so excited I went home at the end of the day and started dreaming up what I wanted to create. I knew I wanted to marry vintage + sparkles with a modern twist.

Personally, the final product was AMAZING, I loved it! You really can {almost} never go wrong when rhinestones + a little sparkle are involved. My favorite part and my most difficult challenge was what to write on the inside... so I decided song lyrics {courtesy of Kool and The Gang} would be the best way to some up my hopes for the New Year:

"Celebrate good times come on!
It's a celebration
Celebrate Good Times, come on!
Let's Celebrate"

{Here's to a New Year full of things to Celebrate!}

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I can't wait to take part in the holiday card exchange again next year! {In the mean time check out the Brooklyn Bride Blog- there are always new and innovative things being showcased over there!}

HAPPY 2K10!

more about "Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel", posted with vodpod

I first saw Fool's Gold in mid-September at the INdependent in San Francisco and they blew my mind. Their stage performance is something you have to see in person to understand and their music is so vibrant you can't help but dance to every song.

Enjoy.
