New Beginnings.... I tossed this name around in my mind over and over. I knew that everyone would go with the typical new baby, new marriage, wedding, home, etc. for their project, but I wanted mine to be a little bit ... different. :)I went with New Life In Christ. What better "New Beginning" could there be?!
I used white craft ink for the cross. It is quite pretty on there in real life. :)
