I have done this layout for the Challenge Yourself Challenge.
The challenge is One Little Word, so do a layout on the word you want to focus on for the year
I have used techniques from Jump Start 2014 This is the 3rd year I have joined in on Jump Start. I was lucky enough to do a class of Nathalie's when she came to a town near me a few years ago. Nathalie is a wealth of knowledge and is the loveliest person. I could listen to her all day, and she is funny and generous. Nathalie has fantastic tutors on Jump Start sharing their tips and techniques.
I have used a masking tape as my household item and inking technique and also modge podged serviette pieces on my layout.
So my one little word was going to be Listen (as my husband reckons I don't)
But the more I thought about it , I decided on Calm, as I think I need to learn to stay Calm and Let it Be. To not get worked up about things or concern myself with things that in the long run don't really matter. So wish me luck !
I am going to take a leaf out of Lizzy's book and list the products used at the end. Lizzy's blog is my favourite blog to visit. It is where I find a lot of the Challenge sites, her work is fabulous and she is gorgeous and loves to share tips and techniques . So if you haven't visited ..... go there NOW !
I bet you will love it as much as me. :)
