Hello there my lovely blog chums, I do hope you've had a good week.

So today is the start of a New challenge with
CRAFTY FRIENDS
and what could be more apt, at this time of year, than the theme of
NEW BEGINNINGS
So basically, we would like your card to highlight something new: a baby, a job, a house or maybe new craft goodies.

Our lovely sponsors for this challenge are

Who, as well as offering an awesome prize, also provided the rest of the team with some amazing images to play with......if you hop on over, we have some great inspiration to share with you.

I went completely for dies and punches on my card, for the house i used a faux stitch square, the fence is a magnolia die,  the clouds are Go kreate, heart die and woodware daisy punch. The enamel dots are YNS gum drops.

Hello, my lovely blog chums.....hope the new year has got off to a great start, we have had an exciting time, but more about that later.

I was lucky enough to have a few days off from work after Christmas, so I managed to get on top of my DT work as well as make a few cards,  do some colouring just for the fun of it and also play with my new pom-pom maker that a friend introduced me to.

Today's card features:

• Ballerina Bunny from Wild Rose Studio
• Coloured with Promarkers 
• Sentiment from LOTV
• Scalloped edge border punch
• Papers and pearls from stash

So our year starred with the arrival of two very special little boys

My lovely step daughter gave birth on 28th December to Alex (just over 5lbs) and  Will (6.9). The new family are settling into family life and, of course, Nanny and Grandad are completely smitten.
