Challenge masters: January Book of Me Challenge

A new month brings new challenges at Challenge Masters., and though my scrap room is a complete mess and is not really conducive to doing scrapping, I manage to complete the book of me challenge.

This month Challenge was to create any project documenting " you goals, resolutions for the new year".
So I created this little mini album so i can document my goals, as I achieve them.

Ch{all}enge Masters: Tag group

Challenge : "Tis the Season for me to see your holiday/Christmas tags. They can be any kind of tag you want as long as they have a holiday/Christmas theme to them. These are my favorite kinds of tags to do, because I put them on my actual gifts!"

I don't make tags very often, unless it is needed for a mini album or it Christmas time. So when it is Christmas time i get super excited about making tags. You can see last year Christmas tag here.

This year I wanted to do something using Tim Holtz and Tattenered Angels products. I had heaps of fun playing with the ink, paint and glimmer mist to create this year Christmas tags. Each tag is backed with Kraft paper, has fake stitching and the to and from written on it.

Ch{all}enge Masters: Altered Group

I decided to start participating in the Challenge again on Ch{all}enge Master, I just need a little motivating when it comes to scrapbooking... I have loads of ideas in my head but have a hard time translating them onto paper.
The first Challenge i have decided to participate in is the Altered Group challenge which is being hosted by Anne this month.

The Challenge: My challenge is for you to alter the cover (or more, if you are so inspired) of a notebook or journal book or composition book (like the kids use in school) - basically anything that you write in. You can make it as simple or as complex as you want. It can't get much easier than that, especially this time of the year. 

The Result: I wanted to keep it quite simple. So i covered my journal with some Kraft colour wrapping paper i had for Christmas paper, i then wet embossed french scripted all over the cover, and then add some simple embellishments over it.
