The Scrap Room Challenge

I ventured over to The Scrap Room and checked out the sketch challenge for January:

The bonus of this challenge is that one person will be invited to be a Guest Designer and get to work with the awesome kits from The Scrap Room.  Unfortunately for me, this opportunity is only available to US and Canadian scrappers, but that hasnt deterred me from creating with the sketch.

And here is my creation:
























Head on over and check out all the wonder that is The Scrap Room

Turtle Soup January Mini Crop

Good morning Lovelies

Over at Turtle Soup, the January Mini Crop is in full swing.  It runs from today until Jan 24, so there is plenty of time to get your scrap on.

The summary list is as follows:

Linda- Holiday Celebration 
Karen- Birthday 
Joan-  Calendar 
Toni- New Years 
Phillis- Resolutions/ word of the year 
Louise B - Out with the Old, In with the New 
Deb P - Year in Review 
LISA Jane BELL - Winter wonderland

Here is my challenge to you:

Good Morning All,

As part of the first mini crop for 2016, I have selected "Year in Review" as my topic.

There are many, many ways to scrap a review year but I have chosen to do a 12x12 layout, and that, my friends is my challenge to you.

Image

Using 12 photos from last year, I would like you to create a 12x12 layout that highlights the year that was.  As an extra twist, please include some hidden journalling to explain the photos you have chosen.

If you arent a 12x12 layout scrapper, then please show me your creation using 12 photos from 2015 as well as the hidden journalling twist.

I look forward to seeing your challenge layouts/creations flooding the gallery :) and also linked back here so I know you are playing :)

You have until Jan 24th to play along

Thanks for joining me in this challenge

My challenge for you is to dig out your alpha stamps and use them on a card or LO. I found this idea on line using the rubber band and love the idea, it keeps them all in a straight line and I always had trouble doing that before.

Wednesday Scrap your Stash Challenge:

Who loves stickers??
Who's got boxes/draws/packets full of unused stickers?

Me, me & me!

Today I'm emptying my stash of some stickers!

Here is my collection of stickers:

Happy New Year

Image result for 2016 best wishes


New Year is not about changing the dates but direction; it’s not about changing the calendar but commitment; it’s not about changing the actions but attitude. May each and every day of 2016 be renewed with lots of happiness and love.

Stay safe my friends
