Wishing for the New Year

My card for today is inspired by a timely challenge that I desperately need to put into action.  As You See It Challenge #340 Pesky Resolutions is a fill in the blank challenge. This Year my crafting resolution is... put inserts in my cards, when I make the card. I have stacks of cards that could be ready to mail if I only take the time to add a sentiment to the inside or at the very least add a paper to write on.
