New Year's Resolutions

I generally don't make new year's resolutions as I never keep them, but I have set myself a reading challenge like I do every year, although I failed last year's challenge terribly. I only managed to read 74 books out of 100, but I did have a LOT of reading to do for my Masters degree course which left little time for fun reading some weeks! So this year I am determined to get my 100 books in and have finished one book already (Mercy Blade by Faith Hunter if you're interested - fantastic series about a skinwalker, who works as a rogue vampire hunter)!

So anyway on to my card...This one is for Open Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #27 New Year's Resolutions, 613 Avenue Create's Challenge #105 Anything Goes and for Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #1 Anything Goes as well.

    This is fantastic Vannessa! I love your colouring and the layout is just perfect! Your New Year's Resolution sounds really good - I'd love to read that much as well, but unfortunately currently the pile of books on my table is just studies... :) Thank you for joining us at Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge, Good Luck! Hope to see you back again soon.
