Welcome to Addicted 2 Scrapping Design Team 

2012 New Years Blog Hop. 

If you are joining me from Canica's blog at:

then you are in the right place.

If you happened across my blog and would like to 

play along in our fun hop, you can go to

Live Love Papercrafting at:

and start at the beginning.

 For todays hop I made a very simple New Years 

card. The card base is 6x6 and the black 

background was cut 1/4 inch smaller. I cut 

the 2012 out using the Cindy Loo Cricut 

cartridge at 2 1/4 inches. Added the white 

ribbon and a little bling and my card was 

done.   

 I call these "frizzles".  My sister saw something

like these at a store a few weeks ago and she

decided to make the silver ones.  I Thought "I have 

lots of color pieces of the garland at home" So I 

made my own colorful ones. They are so easy 

to make. Now that Christmas is over go to the 

store and look for the tinsel like garland.  Cut 

it in to 4 to 5 inch strips. Get out your skewers 

and cut them down to size. Now comes the hot 

glue gun. Put a dab of glue on the end of the 

stick and start to roll till you get to the end. I 

found that slow and steady was the best way to 

get them to be fluffy. I would have to say our 

homemade "frizzles" look better than the ones at 

the store and they were a lot cheaper.

 You may ask what are "frizzles" used for well,

to dress up your New Years drinks of course.

I hope you have a fantastic and safe New Year.
