New Year, New Challenge!

Hello folks, a very Happy New Year to you all, I'm just hoping that this one will be better than last year lol, it wasn't my greatest!!
I've been a bit slap dash with my creating and blogging of late and I'm afraid that will continue for a a couple of weeks more then I hope to settle into normal services and some peace and quiet.
Today I've rushed around to make something for the new challenge at

and it is just that with a 

'NEW'
theme to kick start the 'new' year!
It can be new baby, new job, new home or even new stash if you had some for Christmas, if that's the case don't forget to tell us what it was you used,

Here's my card for a new baby
A Teddy Bo image I've been meaning to use for ages and some gorgeous Echo Park papers which I can't resist buying when I know I've more paper than I could ever use in 10 lifetimes!!

Head over to the main challenge blog for all the details and some inspiration from my few remaining teammies!! I think there may well be a DT call soon if you'd like to join me!
I'm off on a little holiday on Sunday and I'm not sure if I'll have wifi but I'll be along to visit when I get back if not. Thanks for stopping by
Love 'n' Hugs Laurie xx
