Elukkig Nieuwjaar by Design Team Member Rhonda Thomas

Say what? That’s “Happy New Year” in Dutch!!

I know! That hard-working, crafty girl has made another project! Rhonda’s sweet A Little Place Called Gnomeville was just featured in yesterday’s newsletter, and here she is again with a wee project for New Years, using the new Bonne Annee Postcards Collage Sheet!

My main focus for 2020 is to learn French and to focus more on my vintage Parisian treasures. I keep many of them safe in boxes, but for this new decade, I plan on using those treasures in my work. And if all goes as planned, I will be visiting France in the months to come and finding even more to bring back home.

Even though “Elukkig Nieuwjaar” is Dutch, it is still a wonderful image that you too can use, along with several other vintage images from the Alpha Stamps Collage Sheet Bonne Annee Postcards.

I think it looks fabulous! All I did was layer the image onto some paper, added some vintage silver glass glitter, Twinklets Diamond Dust and an embellished piece from this Small Chipboard Victorian Wall Shelf, and this gorgeous little welcome to the New Year was complete.

I’d like to point out that pretty paper around the edges is from the new Cosmos Bark Scrapbook Paper (also in the new kit).

Thank you, Rhonda! Your artwork is beautiful!

Go visit Rhonda’s blog post for more photos! Plus, goodies from Rhonda’s artwork are in today’s Giveaway.
