Story Scrapbook Challenge : New Beginnings

New beginnings!  How fitting, here we are at Katie Pertiet Designs, new beginnings for Katie and Randy, as well as us here at this brand spanking new digs.

So I want a story about new beginnings.  Have you moved house and had to start in a whole new neighbourhood?  How about a new job with all new workmates?   Maybe when you met a new friend or married to a new husband (or wife as the case maybe).  Have you started a new business?  Pregnant with a new baby, bringing new life into the world?   Started a new project.  Got a new pet.  Are you seeing where I’m going with this.  All new beginnings and all worthy of a story.  Do you have a new beginning of your own?

I absolutely cannot wait to see what this challenge brings.

The creative team have jumped on board with some terrific example pages:
