A clean start

      This is my first GD card post for the challenges at Inky Impressions.  You've seen one I posted for their inspiration blog and you'll see a second one posted here and at the challenge blog today for their blog hop.  Make sure you scroll down to that second post for all the details about the hop and the awesome prize package Nicole is offering.
     The Inky Impressions Challenge this week is "Red, White, and Pink".  The image I've used is called "Lili's Cleaning Day" and I've used it to make a new years card of a sort.  I had a list a mile long of things I was going to try to do better at this year.  LOL  Am I doing them all--nah.  :-) , but I'm trying real hard to do some of them, and no, vacuuming was not one of them.   LOL
     Lili's colored with Copics and the papers are My Mind's Eye.  I pulled out the sewing machine again and did some zig zag stitching that looks fairly decent.
     So pop over to the Inky blog for this weeks challenge details and the hop.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Creative Craft--resolutions (get more organized LOLLLLLLLLLLLL)
Crafty Boots--new beginnings
Ooh-la-la--new beginnings
Corrosive Challenge--ring in the new year
Craft Your Days Away--new beginnings
