January


The first challenge of the year over at 'Try it on Tuesday's', is
'In with the New', this could be a new product or a new technique .
As I love Graphics 45 products this  flip easel block was one of my lovely crafty gifts .
I have decided to make a page for each month of the year and use  papers from the Place in Time G45 collection
So here is the first January.





I added some  embossed stamping to the base paper. This photo was taken before it had my favourite   Vintage Photo distress ink liberally applied and a bit more random stamping. 



A few more additions from the scraps box together with some cut outs from the paper pad.
So below is the first page  completed.............
.................only eleven more to go.

Thank you all for taking time to  stop by,  your comments are always appreciated
