It’s that time of year again. Christmas is over and this can by proven by the abundance of new t-shirts with cartoon beer cans or other such gift-type logos that are currently walking the streets of New Zealand. More proof of Christmas past could be seen in the over-flowing recycle bins adorning the edges of my street, the amount of kids riding on new scooters and the half dead xmas-tree dumped in the trailer outside one of my neighbouring houses.
So it’s on with the New Year. Now is probably a great time to share this layout, created specifically for New Zealand’s very own Paper Chase magazine, which has been on the shelves of your favourite retailers for about 3-4 weeks. Pick up a copy, support your NZ mag and for those of you in NZ, perhaps even submit a page or two. Page 60 has a whole list of page themes they are looking for.
Back in a day or two with some reflecting on the past year, and the year to come. I’ve had a great Christmas-New Year so far, I’ve kept the computer off, you’ve hardly seen me on facebook and my email isn’t being attended to. I’ve focused on family and had the best time. I’ll share my favourite parts over the next few days.
As always, I’m truly grateful for your visits, I love seeing comments and knowing that you read my ramblings. Here’s to a fabulous New Year to you all.
Laters
Supplies: 7Dots Studio Papers, Large Alpha from Prima, Small Alpha from LilyBee Design, Floral Element from Pink Paislee, Black flourish from Glitz Designs, Twine from The Twinery.
Love the layout Nic, it seems alive with light and emotions.

I'm addicted to your layouts, Nic!! The colour, the stories, the simplicity which isn't as simple as it looks, the visual beauty of them. My wish is to attend one of your classes one day to see if any of your talent rubs off onto me - and to meet you. Of course! All the very best to you all for 2012.
