Spread your wings...it's 2013!

 Happy New Year!
The next few days will be exciting as the Clear Scraps team
reveals all the new cool products coming out at CHA!!!
This XL chipboard frame is one of the new items! I was waiting to use this
cute quote and it also happens to go with my new word/theme for 2013!

 My new word for 2013 is "Dare" - I must admit 2012 was a really hard year
for me and I am ready to move forward, take a chance and spread my wings!
Unlike a resolution I feel like this takes the pressure off of 
succeeding or finishing something in the year. I have set goals 
but they are not ones that can happen overnight, 
it is going to take time but in order for then to eventually come to 
fruition I must take that first step!  
Dare to try and keep trying if I fail at first!

 Oh and my project? This will be on display at the Clear Scraps booth at CHA
- it looks so much cooler in person so please go check it out if you are going!
The picture did not do it justice!
Lots of color and texture- hard to believe everything on here started as chipboard!
What will you "Dare" to do in 2013?

Rita, first I wanted to mention that I love the sparkly look if this project. And I love that you will be spreading your wings in 2013. I am going to try to do the same (my hubby and I are going to try to learn to swing dance--they have swing dancing every Saturday night at Downtown Disney). We are NOT dancers, so this will be different for us.
Second, THANK YOU for the prize you just sent me. I couldn't believe how many fabric tapes you sent, in addition to papers, stickers, etc! I was so shocked when I lifted the box off of my porch--it had a ton of goodies in it! I can't wait to use them today when I do my crafting. Thank you so, so much. It lifted my spirits like you wouldn't believe....
I will be sure to check out the Clear Scraps booth at the CHA. I'm SO looking forward to the CHA. And it's in my own backyard....THANK YOU, RITA!!!!

I love your goal and this saying is fantastic. I may "borrow" it for my pages about my daughters, who are just starting to spread their wings!

This is so beautiful, I wish I were going to CHA and could see it in person.congratulations on it being featured there. I think dare is a wonderful choice for a word for the new year and I wish you much success with it.

I had a tough 2012 as well, and I chose HOPE as my word for 2013. I will do my very best.

I look forward to seeing what you DARE to create and do this year and I wish us all a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year!

Hugs,
Maureen

This is so beautiful. Love the textured wings and the placement of the word 'wings' itself.
