January Challenges at Burlap and Buttercups.....

I love to do scrapbook challenges--they are like little homework assignments that the school nerd in me craves!  LOL. 

I did two challenges from Burlap and Buttercups for the month of January.  First up is the "Banner Challenge." 

This kit is SO versatile and the colors are absolutely gorgeous.  Really liking th pop of orange Basic Grey paper.  And speaking of "pop," I have become completely obsessed with pop dots!  Must head to the store soon to get some more...

The second challenge I participated in was the "January Sketch with a Twist" challenge.  What we had to do was use the sketch and add distressing.



Again, this kit---the colors are amazing and they worked so perfectly with the darker, more fall like colors in the photos.  I followed the sketch pretty closely, changing up my photo sizes and moving my journaling around.  For the distressed elements I inked my paper edges and the white Jenni Bowlin alphas (which I wish I had more of). 

Thanks for letting me share!
