I'll give you a hint: there's a really neat set of Christmas card templates included (see my layout below).

New Journaling Challenge at Color Line Design

I've posted the new journaling challenge at CLD for December. I hope you'll come join me. Here's the link to read more.

This month's challenge is to use the poem by Mark Twain -

Twenty years from now

you will be more disappointed

by the things that you didn't do

than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines.

Sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

I thought it was perfect for my little busy bodies. Here's my layout I created using a kit called Gabby's Dream Remix by Colie's Corner.

Speed Scrap

I've been having fun at DigiScrapStation with their speed scraps or Saturday Night Express as it is called in their forum. I think it's fun & challenging. Every 10 minutes during the hour you are given a new assignment. For example, the first item was to find either a black/navy background or to put an "X" on your layout.

Once all the assignments have been given out, you have one hour to complete your layout & upload it to the DSS gallery.

Here's my layout for the week of November 22nd. I used items from a kit called Tweeting Friends (available at Bits2kits by SAS Designs). I recolored the background paper to be dark black & used items from the kit I hadn't used before. I love the pink sparkly swirls. I feel like if I hadn't searched them out for this challenge they may have gone unused (which is a real shame.)

I created the 8 point star from background paper & used a font called MA Sexy for the quote we were assigned to use "I'll Be There For You."

Overall, I had a blast & was able to create this fun layout. I think I'll hunt out some more speed scraps in the future when they work in my schedule!!!
