using Celebrate with Flourish Cricut cartridge.
Used colors, black & white with a touch of red,
that I do not normally use so by doing so I stepped
out of my comfort zone.
I tried cutting the words Happy New Year but the
letters kept tearing/splitting so I came up with the
calendar image as the background with a black border.
Decorated the inside with sentiment
'time to ring in new year!' & fireworks.

Thank you. Dr. Sonia I went to the Create Me Pink (CMP) site and did not see a link for the challenge so I placed my entry in the comments like it indicated to if the link was not present. Became a follower of CMP & will ck back to see what happens. Also, noticed that on the post for the Dec challenge you had commented on had been removed by someone other than you so was not sure what was up with that.
