123 Challenge - January

 

 I'm a bit excited to share with you today a layout that actually turned out WAY BETTER than I had expected.. lol.. It looks pretty amazing IRL.. :)

 

It is my entry into the January challenge over at the 123 Challenge Blog..

 

 

 

 

This layout was created with one purple cardstock base - it matches the dress I am wearing in the photo..

And one piece of newly released 12x12 Kaiser pattern paper.. I had to do a tiny bit of trimming to all of the squares to make them fit with a small purple frame showing..

 

 

For the texture part of the challenge I have included Gesso, Clear Impasto, Glossy Accents, distressed edges and because "texture" can sometimes be with the eyes not only by touch, I included some faux stitching around each pp block and glitter.. And the final touch for texture was depth - I did this by included the flowers, 3D'd the days of the week, title and the chipboard doily piece..







 

 

I used the word part of the challenge quite differently to what others have.. I have used a photo of ONLY myself and made the journaling about MYSELF... -- However, there is a twist ---

 

Me, Myself & I

2016; I am going to grab the HAPPY! I am taking it upon myself to make the year positive! So together, "me, myself & I" are looking forward to a great year ahead!

 

As it mentions in the journaling, I am taking the steps within myself to be positive.. Put out positive vibes and thoughts! I am no longer going to let bad or sad rule my reactions or decisions.. Every day I am going to make a great day! :)

Now back onto the 123 Challenge Blog... I believe they are having a DT call this month.. So if you're a lover of challenges, why not drop on over to the blog, check out the details and then send through an email to Alicia.. Good Luck!

 

Thank you for joining me today, I hope you've found some sort of inspiration from my layout too.. Toni.. xoxo
