Sparkles Challenge #28

Hi everyone, I'm feeling much better now although my energy levels still aren't quite back to normal. I'd like to say a big thank you too for all your get well wishes they certainly helped

It's time for the first challenge of 2012 over at Sparkles Challenge Blog and this time it's an easy one for you all, it's to use your new crafty goodies that you either got for Christmas or that you have somewhere in your crafty stash and haven't yet used.  For my card I used my new polychromos pencils that I was very lucky to receive for Christmas from my wonderful husband

This is the outside of my card

and this is the inside

I'd like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all our followers who have joined in the challenges in 2011 and I hope you all continue to join in in 2012
