After finally recording some of my childhood Christmas memories in a blog post last month, I knew I wanted to create a layout using those words and photos. I found the perfect INSPIRATION when Jennifer Wilson posted the Jumpstart 2.1 Challenge as part of the January Simple Scrapper membership materials. These challenges pair a story starter and a sketch. The story starter was journaling about a day that was magical, and my Christmas Surprises stories came to mind because, of course, Christmas is a magical time. I used the sketch as a starting point for this 12x12 layout.
I'm excited that my word for this year led me to take this INSPIRATION and act on it right away! Have you created any layouts in 2015 yet?
You're off to a great start in 2015
ReplyDeleteLovely layout
ReplyDeleteNice page, isn't it great to get those stories you've blogged about down on pretty paper. I need to do that too.
ReplyDeleteGreat layout!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteA superb page to start off the New Year. I love all that space for journaling. I'm hoping to make a page this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great design for making sure a story gets told - you've made a speedy start to the scrapping year!
ReplyDeleteGreat layout! I'm finally sitting down and going through all my pictures and hope to get a print order in...need to get going on finishing up my 2014 Project Life and figured out what I'm going to do this year.
