Happy New Year My Son, My Moon and My Stars!

Ever since my son was a baby, I have called him "my son, my moon, and my stars".  When Magnolia-licious Highlites set this month's challenge as any shape except the normal rectangle or square, I struggled against the obvious circle and stumbled across star.  I was already colouring a new Magnolia image I received for Christmas and the rest of the card elements just came together from there.  So here is my New Year's card for my darling son!

My appologies to the fabulous Magnolia artist as I cut off her lizard's tongue.  My son's pet bearded dragon loves to ride on his shoulders and while Drago does have a tongue, he doesn't show it often.  The star shape was cut with the Cricut and a sun has been stitched on top of the stars.  On the inside, I stitched a moon and added smaller stars cut with the Cricut.

The new challenge at Roses on Paper is to use your favorite colouring medium which for me is the equivalent of picking between my son and daughter!  I hope they'll settle for picking my favorite coloured pencils - Lyra.  Several challenge blogs are focused on a New Year's theme - Everybody Art Challenge, Cute Card Thursday, Simon Says Challenge, and Stampavie and More so I will be entering Happy New Year Edwin in those as well.

Thank you for stopping by to look!
