New Year, New Beginnings!

Heeeelllllooooo everybody! And a very Happy New Year to you too! I was chuffed as little mintballs to be asked to be a GDT on the latest Quirky Crafts Challenge which for the next fortnight is all about something new: a new baby, New Year, new puppy (which apparently my brother and girlfriend have gone to collect today), an engagement or even just using up your new stash of Christmas goodies.

For my card I chose to make a New Baby card for a lovely lady who's baby is due next week. She already knows she's having a girl (hopefully the scan was right) so I went ahead and made it pink. She is also Swedish so I wanted to use a Swedish sentiment, which lovely Louise was kind enough to help me with.


I used a digi stamp freebie from SJ's Little Musings called Fifi the Giraffe. I've used it loads and it's great for new baby cards. The papers were downloads and both were magazine freebies (I think - sorry) and the sentiment says "A Little Miracle" in Swedish.
