New Year....New Start

Morning everyone,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The sun is shining for a change and the sky is blue, so we're packing up a little picnic, and  heading off to the beach with Finn. 
First though, I wanted to share with you my very first DT card of 2013. This month, the challenge at 
 is 'Lead By Example'......so I thought what better way of starting off the new year than to use up some of my scraps of card and paper. I don't know about you, but I keep almost every scrap, and now I'm running out of space in my craft room.... soon I'll be buried under a mountain of pretty paper, so if I don't blog for a while, you'll know why.




 This card has used up some tiny peices of green 'double-sided' paper for the foliage.....




....... and scraps of red card for the roses.








  I have actually made 3 new year resolutions....
No. 1 .......use up what I have in my craft room before buying more (don't think I'll stick to that!)
No.2........ stop PROCRASTINATING ( I'll never stick to that!)
and
No.3........lose weight (might have more success with that....after we've finished all the goodies, haha)

So, onto the finished card, I know it looks a bit 'Christmassy', but I think I'll turn it into a Ruby Wedding Anniversary card, and make a little box to go with it...What do you think??
  The topper is a 'tongue in cheek' comment and I'll change it for something different later.
Don't forget to pop over to The Cupboard Trilogy and join in the challenge.....maybe you've made a similar resolution to me, haha.
Back later with another DT card.....have a good day xxx
