All Things New




Good morning and Happy New Year to you!! This week I am combining two challenges. The CCEE blog has 2 new additions and they happen to both be friends of mine. So how could I not participate?? After a holiday break, they are back! The sketch challenge is by Cindy Haffner. Also this week, the Stamping Sisters in Christ issued a challenge based on the Bible verse: 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: the old has gone, the new has come!" We were asked to create a card or project celebrating a new baby or a new Christian's conversion.
I do not have any new babies in our family, but if one comes along, I will be ready now. There is something so precious about a new life and so I wanted to celebrate that today along with a New Year!!
This card was made using a new SU set I ordered, Bundle of Joy. I combined bashful blue and a Making Memories new designer paper pad, "English Garden" that contains so many pretty designs, but this one is the dotted yellow.
Thanks so much for stopping by and wishing you lots of new blessings in all forms in the New Year!!

  7. So cute! Love that little bear and the sketch is a nice one. I like the colors with the yellow, such a classic baby color. That border punch is perfect too, especially in white.
