OMG I've had a crazy last few days and haven't posted a card for any of them. I had cards done but decided to head into the city for shopping and wasn't planning on being away so long. I left on the 27th hoping to shop and go down to apply for dh and kiddies passports on the morning of the 28th. Well turns out they were closed so I stayed an extra night got up real early headed down and was told my son's photo was rejected and DH's siggy was no good so I was stressed out and left and just as I was nearing my Mom's place I slid into the intersection of a red light and smashed into a guy in a truck OMG I have never had an accident that was my fault in the 20 years I have been driving. I hit the poor guy's wheel and it bent so his truck is not driveable. The man was so nice, turns out he owns a garage right by where it happened and secured my cracked fender so I could drive around safely. His kindness brought me to tears. He should have been angy instead he was fixing my car. So I had to stay two more nights to see an Insurance Adjustor and file a police report, hence I am late with my dt card.
But we have a great theme at Prairie Fairy Fun Fridays to celebrate the new year - NEW BEGINNINGS. I used this beautiful asian lantern image and thought it could represent newly retired, new home, etc..... i coloured with prismacolours. Sentiment is Whimsy Stamps - Raindrop Echo Designs. My craft table is still cleared off from Christmas so I have my table and wall background, but I don't mind it. Hope you have a Happy New Year! We're having lots of appetizers and a full night of WII games Woohoo!

This is such a pretty card and it gave me some inspiration for making a card for two really good friends who just got a new place together. I'm happy you were not seriously hurt in that accident. It was great that the guy you hit was so friendly and understanding.
Happy New Year to you and your family :D

Oh my goodness, Lori, your 2010 went out with a bang! So sorry you had such a rotten few days. So glad no one was hurt in the accident!
I love your card. Your coloring and color palette are so beautiful. I really struggled with this challenge and considered using the lanterns, but couldn't seem to tie them in to new beginnings. You did an stellar job with that sentiment.
Wishing you and your family a year full of health, happiness and prosperity!
