New Beginnings! @ Little Red Wagon

This week at


it's Chrissy's turn to choose the challenge and she's going with that quintessential first challenge of the year - "New Beginnings!" which means she wants to see those "new" projects, like new home, new job, new baby etc.

This is what I did.....


....I went with a new baby card.  Originally, the sentiment was Welcome Baby so that it could be used for a boy or girl baby but the shorter sentiment didn't look right.  I didn't think Welcome Sweet Baby ______ would be received well, so after a look in my stash and seeing that I did have a baby girl card, I gendered it with boy.  Digi is from Scraps and Designs on Etsy.

Well, Dear Reader, I hope 2025 is off to a great start for you!  Wishing you much craftiness in the year to come.  ❤

Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us?  And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

  9. Great card! The monochromatic greys and black look super! There are more boys being born in this part of Ontario these days (at least in my world) so good choice with the baby boy.

Okay, so ever since I started my blog (well, maybe not right from the get-go, it was probably a good six months or so before I realized you could change it from just "Leave your comment") I've tried to come up with something witty to type here.

*sitting with brow furrowed in concentration*...*staring at the ceiling while pursing lips*...*resting with head on hand while tapping foot*...

Nope, I still got nothing.
