Challenges

Nothing like a two for one right? I had two challenges this week (one from super Stashbusters and a CTMH one) and I decided to combine them into one layout. Here is the finished layout:

I wanted a layout that I could hang in my house to show our goals for 2015.  (Challenge from CTMH).  I followed the sketch from Super Stashbusters challenge numer 7 (yes I skipped challenge six and will come back to it later).  I used the paper from the Year>>noted paper (January National Papercrafting Special), along with the gold foil stickers and stamp set. I love this list and am so excited that it only cost me $5 with a $50 purchase. 

Here are a few close ups:

See those white dots? Those are the reduce, reuse, recycle part of the challenge from Super Stashbusters and are pieces of paper from my three ring hole punch.  I am loving this layout. I love that is has all our goals and a picture that shows how old we all are when these goals were made.  It uses our word for the year and is a pretty reminder of what we are striving for this year.
