New Year, New Beginnings

It's time for the first challenge of 2014, and we're all about NEW beginnings here at Heart 2 Heart Challenges!  Our first challenge is to use something NEW on your project: maybe a new product, a new technique, a new baby, or anything that is NEW to you.  Be sure to use some CTMH products in your creation, explain how your project fits the NEW challenge, and of course be sure to mention your favorite challenge blog, Heart 2 Heart, in your post.  Thanks!

Now for a little NEW inspiration, first up is our new guest designer, Debbie Bonczek.

Both of our teams are playing this week, so here we all are (in no particular order).  You'll want to check out each DT's blog to find out the "new" element as it may or may not be readily apparent.

Now that you've seen our NEW inspiration, how will you interpret this challenge?  You have until the end of the month to participate in this first challenge, and all of the rest of January's challenges as they're unveiled.  (Don't forget about our Sentimental Journey scrapbook challenge this month too!)  The only rule that we have is that you use and mention Close To My Heart.  Happy crafting in 2014!
