I'm a little late with this post since it was for the LOAD challenge for Day 5, but I did get it entered in that challenge on time.

I used Sketch 469 at Scrapbook Challenges, which I rotated

and will be entering my layout there.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you're having a scrappy day!

What's Your Dream?

Happy New Year, everyone!!!  I hope the new year is being good to you, and I hope this year is the best year yet for you.  If you follow my blog regularly, you will remember that we moved back to my hometown in June of last year and went through house-hunting and moving into our new home.  I was lucky enough for there to be an extra room upstairs for my craft room!  I finally got around to straightening the room up and organizing things over Christmas break, so now I be crafty again.

I'm participating in the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin's 52 Week Layout Challenge again this year.  I started this the past two years, but I haven't made it past halfway either year.  Obviously, my goal for this year is to make it to the end!  Our first week of the 2013 challenge was the week of December 29-January 4, and it felt SO GOOD to be back in my craft room to create this layout:

This is the first thing I've made in my new craft room, and I think it turned out GREAT!  I found this sketch (saved on my computer) to follow:

This was sketch 203 from Scrapbook Challenges.  Unfortunately, there is a problem with their blog right now, so I can't link to it.

This layout qualifies for the Four Photo challenge in January's Scrappin' Challenge at Scrappin' 'n' Chattin', and I'm also entering it at Scrap It Girl, as it qualifies for the bling challenge.

I hope you've been able to get in your craft room in the new year!  Happy scrapping, everyone!!!
