Welcome to the Out With The Old and In With The New two-day New Year's Blog Hop! We're so happy you could join the Made Especially For You design team in celebrating the new year. Day one of the hop will feature some of our favorite projects we've created this past year, and day two of the hop will feature a New Year's themed project. If you've come from another blog in the hop and are looking to start at the beginning of the hop, you're in the right place. :)
The weekly challenge this week here at Made Especially For You is to create a New Year's card featuring glitter. Although the challenge won't officially start until tomorrow, I thought I'd share my card as my New Year's project for the hop.

I actually found this challenge more challenging than I thought it would be. I decided to play around with the 'Luau' cartridge and see what I could come up with. Who doesn't want to be celebrating the new year on a warm, sandy beach? :) I glittered the middle of the leaves, the drink glasses and the middle of the sun.
Be sure to stop by tomorrow to enter your own New Year's card with glitter into the challenge! The sponsor this week is Liz from Decade of Scrap. She will be offering the randomly chosen winner up to three sets of digital New Year's sentiments!
What fun is a blog hop without blog candy? I'll be giving away the following crafty goodies:
- 1 spool of pink ribbon
- 1 clear stamp set
- 1 set of gold/silver rhinestones
- Assorted chipboard pieces
- Paper Bliss scrapbook accent frame
- 1 package of green, wooden buttons
- 2 pre-made cards and envelopes
- 1 rubber stamp
Entering to win is easy! Here's what you have to do:
1.) Become a follower (if you aren't already)
2.) Comment on a post either day of the hop (you'll be entered twice if you comment both days)
3.) 'Like' the Made Especially For You Facebook page
The winner will be randomly chosen and announced on Tuesday January 3rd.
Your next stop is Jamie's blog - she has some wonderful projects to share with you!

You're right -- I WOULD like to be celebrating the New Year on a warm, toasty beach!!! Well, that's not happening, so I'll just have to kick up the heat in my craft room and spread some sand! LOL. Hope your new year is especially happy!!
