NEW CHALLENGE

Our first challenge this Year is hosted by our mega talented Teamie, Christine Craig, and she's chosen to go with the most fitting theme for this time of the year...

*** New Beginnings ***

Your creation could be for a New Beginning in the New Year with Resolutions, (like being healthier, or, being more organized). It could also referring to anything that is New; like a New Baby, a New Job, a New Home, a New Love, a New Life in Wedded bliss, New Friends, NEW crafty tools... really anything that brings NEW Beginnings!  
If it's New, it qualifies! :)
