Happy New Year and Happy Me!

It's a new year and 2025 is off to a fun new start for me as I join the Time Out Challenges Design Team. I am so happy and honored to be joining this talented and wonderful group of women from all over the world. Our first Time Out Challenge of the year is Beginnings and there is a wonderful prize being offered by our generous sponsor Doodlebugs, a $25.00 store credit.





I decided to go with a New Year's card even though I had been thinking about the beginning of a day (sunrise), a wedding theme (beginning of a new chapter), a new baby, a new job, etc. It is a fresh start or "beginning" when the calendar is on January 1st, so I grabbed some new and old products from my stash to make a wine bottle tag.

Products I used:

Hero Arts: Hello Edger die set

My Favorite Things: Number dies

The Greetery: Pinwheel Party die set

Stampin' Up!: Gold striped vellum

Gold glitter cardstock

We hope you are ready for some papercrafting and that you have some "beginnings" ideas for a project to share in our gallery!

Wishing you a happy new year with lots of time to do papercrafts in 2025!
