New Beginnings.
Your craft project can be about something new: new baby, New Year, new puppy, engagement, basically a celebration of something new. As it is the first challenge of the New Year you can also use your new crafting stash, just be sure to tell us what the new items are.
We asked all of our guest designers if they would like to join in and would like to thank them for the wonderful projects displayed below.
Here are the design team examples to inspire you:
