On to my second piece of news... this is my first post for the Design Team at 613 Ave C! I was slated to start the week before my surgery and I had to go on a leave before I even had submitted a single card. Kathi and Chana, the owners of 613 Ave C have been unbelievably supportive and patient with me. I have found an incredible group here - organized, supportive and communicative - I am in good hands now!
Finally, on to business!
This first challenge for me at 613 Ave C is "Anything Goes - with an optional twist to Create Your Own Challenge" If you go for the optional twist - you would choose 1 to 3 out of each column from the challenge grid below. You can see some really fun samples from the other team members HERE.

On this card I chose the following items: from Column #1 image [Bugaboo image: , sentiment & DP #2 dry embossing - the penguin & cup were fussy cut and dry embossed from the back to sculpt it and the base CS was embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. #3 Glossy Accents was used on the mistletoe berries #4 button added to the sentiment tag #5 twine bow on the button & faux stitching around the cup handle.
