a brand new year

Happy New Year!!! I cannot believe its already 2012! I'm anxious for a new year...I have some "challenges" for myself instead of resolutions. I'll share those in another post. A new year means a new month. Once again Melinda outdid herself with the January kit for Scrappy Chics. Lots of pretty blues and silvers in this mix. The first layout is of me and my hubby on Halloween. We dressed up as a Day of the Dead couple. I think its by far my most favorite costume we've ever pulled together.

I used just a little bit of mist to make the flower match the blue in the paper.

For the next card, I used the add on kit. I love this line by Basic Grey!

Aren't those little flowers the cutest?!

I have to be completely honest...I don't really like this next card. I had a vision for it but just couldn't get it quite right onto paper. *sigh*

This last layout is a bit different for me. I'm not used to having so much white space on my layouts. I kept wanting to add more stuff, but I really wanted the pictures of Bekah to stand out. I got the inspiration from here.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to the new Design Team at Scrappy Chics!! Please be sure to visit the website to learn more about these fabulous ladies. Have a great week!!
