Love Today layout for Use Your Stuff challenge

Hello Hello :) We are back into the swing of things with the New Year, the holidays are over and 2018 has started. So that means new challenges too. At Use Your Stuff challenge blog this week's challenge is: New Year, New Fun - Create a project with something new (ie, tool, paper, embellishment etc) or highlight something new in a photo:

Some cool pictures of the flowers in our garden August 17, 2013. So what is new in this layout :) you may ask. The die-cuts are new, the gems and the Love wood veneer is newly open :) Got that last year for Christmas. The others I got over the holiday at Hobby Lobby when visiting Tammy and the grandkids. It was to cold to do anything other than play board games or head to the mall and shop :) We did both.

 I grabbed a Project Life card from my cart that has the cards sitting on the top of it, used ot for the journaling. Added lots of die cuts to the layout.

 Really loved using the different textures in the title of the layout.

 More die cuts and gems, plus a word phrase from the die cut pack.

Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your crafty creation for this fun challenge over at Use Your Stuff challenge blog
