Happy NEW Year!

Today is my first post for 2012 and it's very fitting because it's for our SCS Crafty Girls Blogging Group.   The 5th of every month we do a Blog Hop together.   You'll want to check out all the gals Blogs listed on the right side of this page for some fun cards, items and pages today!!

Our theme for this was was "New".   What a FUN theme for January, a new year and the start of a new season (at least here in Ohio, Winter has come!).     It wasn't too hard for me to come up with a project for this theme as last week I spent in Florida with my Sis and her family.   My Sister had a baby last Wednesday!   Sarah Elizabeth is my first niece and she's ADORABLE! 

Yup, cute hunh?   Auntie Lela was all too willing to snuggle with her during my visit.    Of course,  I wanted to get some scrap pages done of her but trying to select just a few of the over 200 pictures I took while I was there proved to be more challenging than I expected so tonight I got out the baby stamps and put them to good use for some cards.   There are some other friends having babies soon and hopefully if it's a girl,  I have a card ready.   As you can imagine,   I have "pink" on the brain these days so of course,  I chose pink.


The sketch is from this week's Card Pattern's Sketch #146.  I used all SU! this week.  

Don't forget to check out the rest of our Crafty Girls Blog Hop by checking out the blogs listed on the right side of the page!   I'm sure I'll have more "NEW" baby cards and pages to show off soon.    Enjoy! 

Supplies:   SU! Patterns Pack II,  Ink Regal Rose, Basic Black, Black Gingham Ribbon, SU! Stamps - Baby Talk, Warm Words, Cute Converse
