Guest designer at By The Cute and Girly

Hello!!

First things first...  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  

Can you believe we are now into 2012!  Where did 2011 go?  Maybe it's me getting older but time just seems to fly by now :-D

Anyway, my first post of the year is quite a nice one as I was asked to be a guest designer over at By The Cute and Girly, now I don't know about you but I really do like doing GDT slots, and I regularly play along with this challenge so I was delighted to have been asked :-D

The theme is

New Beginnings

So I thought I'd do a New Years card for starters


I used some of my favourite images from the last year to make a classy and elegant New Years card.  2011 was the year in which I started getting into distressing, so it seemed really appropriate, and I think my colouring has come on over the past year too :-D

 

I hope you have time to play along in the challenge this month :-D


Thanks to all at BTCG for asking me to GD for them, especially Lora for being so supportive :-D

Please may I enter these challenges
