A New Year and A New Opportunity

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and welcomed 2014 surrounded by the ones you love and doing what you love.
2014 sees a very exciting opportunity for me as I was recently selected to be on the design team for Scrap the Boys - one of my favourite scrap challenge websites. This my first time being on a DT so to say I am excited is an understatement! Wendy has put together an awesome team made up of:

Sandra Wallace

Rikki Graziani

Kerryn Fry

Kim Jeffress

Crece Thomas

Anne Patterson

Leonie Neal-Dawson

Sara Gagnon

Wendy Smith

Mryiam Dunand

Charmane Koch

Karen Grose

So I guess now I should talk about this month's challenge - the first for 2014. You can check out all the details HERE but in a nut shell, you have to scrap a layout to the theme of something new. This is my take on the challenge:

Mitchell with the header/harvester he was hoping to receive for his birthday. He had no idea he was getting it so the look on his face when Tony walked him over to the shed where it was hidden was priceless. I think I could open a toy shop with all of the tractors, headers, pickers and spray rigs that are in the toy room - all John Deere of course lol ;)
And some close-ups: 

I hope you all take up this month's challenge - after all, there are all of those Christmas pictures with all those new goodies needing some scrapping love ;).
Thanks for stopping by.
