Start Fresh for the January 2015 CKC Blog Hop

Welcome to the January 2015 Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Member Blog Hop, so happy your here to join us. With a Start Fresh Layout :) If you are coming from the amazing Lisa's blog then your right on track. The challenges this month are:

Challenge #1 - Scrapping with lists

Challenge #2 - Recycled print

Challenge #3 - Turn negates into positives

 I decided to do Challenge #1 Scrapping with lists. Thought this would be a fun one to tackle n January since I always start out the year working on my goals. I chose to use My Scraps & More Sketches  Challenge #98 for the basis of my layout:

 I had fun with this sketch, the layout, and the list. Everything came from my current counterfeit kit other than the goal list that was in a previous kit a few months back.

 The title of the layout actually came about from the Start Fresh is a program that is offered to the members of Simple Scrapper free, but now she offers a Start Fresh Anytime ecourse. It's a way that she offers a plan for the year of joyful memory keeping. Her membership offers some amazing benefits for a small price. I've enjoyed it for the past year now. But this year's class, she had us find a picture of our-self within the last year and a quote that fit best for us. You see both in the above photo block, I just fell in love with this quote when I saw it, it is the essence of how I feel about scrapbooking.

 The rest of the layout block has a fun quote I found about being ahead and this is also some of the philosophy that Jennifer also points out in Simple Scrapper.  My list of goals this year. It was fun to play around with the word stickers that came on a Recollections sticker sheet. Have a fantastic day, looks like we are snow bound :) Stop back tomorrow for a new Lasting Memories challenge post.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop :) Next off to see what amazing project Susanne has done, did you see the pin inspired layout she did a couple days ago, will be pinning that to my board :)
