Since this blog hop is taking place on New Year's Eve, I just HAD to incorporate a little bit of New Years Eve decor and fun! I wanted to make my card celebratory.

Champagne Glass How-To:
For those of you who dont know, I love, love, love Martha Stewart. That being said, I cannot claim these champagne glasses as my own! For the how-to, see Martha's instructions here:

For my glasses, I used the font from Cricut Cartridge Martha Stewart All Occasions Cake Art and stretched them out for fun.
Supplies for the Pom-Pom:
Black Tissue Paper
String
Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist in Heirloom Gold
Pom-Pom's are the perfect party decor for any occassion. I decided to go spray happy and spritz mine with Perfect Pearls...it was such a success. The gold shimmer against the black pom-pom looked marvelous! Once again, the credit goes to Martha Stewart. The tutorial is up on her website. Here's the link:
