January Card Hoppin’ 2023

Hello! It’s time for the January 2023 Card Hoppin’ and this month’s theme is New Beginnings and we needed to use either colored pencils or watercolor pencils for a supply. This month, we are doing a hashtag-driven hop, instead of using links. Please search for #cardhoppinjan2023 when you’re on YouTube. My YouTube video is below.

Here’s the video.

I really like how this all came together.

I’d love to know if you prefer direct links for hops, or if you like when you just need to search a hashtag. Also, what did you think of my take on “new beginnings?” I’m hoping my card brings my friend and his family a small bit of comfort during this very difficult time.
