Creative Card Crew Challenge #26 - Happy New Year!

Welcome back!  This week we have a new challenge for Creative Card Crew, the challenge goes through January 3rd to give you a little more time to create during your busy holiday season.

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2013 is the Year of the Snake, which begins on February 10, 2013 and ends on January 30, 2014.  The Snake is the sixth sign of the Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 Animal Signs.  It is the enigmatic,  intuitive, introspective, refined and collected of the Animals Signs.  Ancient Chinese wisdom says a Snake in the house is a good omen because it means that your family will not starve.  People born in the Year of the Snake are keen and cunning, quite intelligent and wise.  They are great mediators and good at doing business.  Therefore, you should have good luck if you were born in the  Year of the Snake.

Some famous people who were born in snake years are:  Anne Rice, Ann-Margret,  Audrey Hepburn, Christie Brinkley, Elizabeth Hurley, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy, Kim Basinger, Linda McCartney, Liv Tyler,  Oprah Winfrey, Queen Elizabeth I, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Our challenge this round is to create a project for the Chinese New year.  remember to use Red & Gold only!  Then link up over at Creative Card Crew for a chance to win a $15 gift voucher from our sponsor this week  THE SCRAPPING CENTER.
