January challenges

I've done quite a bit of scrapping in 2014 already (6 layouts in 4 days, WHAT!?!)…  I've just been very lazy about blogging lately.  Let me share a couple layouts today and start to get caught up with that.

This one was inspired by the current sketch/challenge at Paper Secrets. In addition to the sketch, I needed to use the letters in the word PARTY for the different page elements.



The elements I used were:
P - Polka Dots
A - Arrow
R - Rose-colored embellies (buttons, clip)
T - Thickers
Y - Yellow



Next, I used a fun collection, Echo Park's "Winter Wishes". I got a great deal at the Echo Park warehouse sale a couple months ago, the whole collection pack was only $3, yay!

My layout is inspired by the Scrappy Friends challenge (Kristi B) to use one of these words in my title (I used 'winter'):

And also the Scrap Our Stash Countdown challenge (Stash Challenge #11).

My countdown elements are:
5 - black diamond gems
4 - stickers
3 - patterned papers
2 - photos
1 - rub-on (the word 'january' in white is a rub-on)




All really fun challenges, maybe they will inspire you too!
