House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge

Our first challenge this Year is hosted by our mega talented Teamie, Christine Craig, and she's chosen to go with the most fitting theme for this time of the year...
*** New Beginnings ***
Your creation could be for a New Beginning in the New Year with Resolutions, (like being healthier, or, being more organized). It could also referring to anything that is New; like a New Baby, a New Job, a New Home, a New Love, a New Life in Wedded bliss, New Friends, NEW crafty tools... really anything that brings NEW Beginnings!
If it's New, it qualifies! :)
 
I thought I'd play along.
 
 
This is for a friend that's starting a new job.
And career!
After about 13 years with the same company, she made a leap.
The saying is for all the arguing she did with herself, because we were behind her 100%!
The little metal tag on the left that you can't read, says 'Believe'!
 
The inside says
'If at FIRST you DO succeed,
try not to look ASTONISHED"
 
She'll be fine, and this card will make her lol!
 
You have another week to play, it's the first challenge of the year over there,
and those people ROCK!
 
Talk to ya later!
Ta ta for now!
