I resolve

Today I'm very happy to share the second layout I made as a Guest Designer at Once Upon A Sketch!

I wanted this one to be more "OUAS" style - fuller, shabbier, more feminine, more old-fashioned.  Seeing all the amazing creations of the DT, I confess I'm quite intimidated... but that's another story!

Now on to the challenge

January 15th Challenge

Journalling Criteria:

HELLO 2012 or GOODBYE 2011?

For this challenge, the journalling theme is new beginnings, upcoming adventures but also saying goodbye to yet another year.. Are you glad 2011 is over? Are you looking forward to starting fresh in 2012? What are your goals or resolutions for the year ahead? What are you most looking forward to? Or maybe you can journal about your thoughts for the new year.

Things that you can journal about: a new job, house, baby or new scrapping adventures or Design Teams. Are you taking time off work? Are you planning a holiday somewhere? Maybe your children are starting school or you are getting a new pet. Or you could tell us why you are glad 2011 is over or why you will miss it. Anything goes really!

Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project based on this sketch and instead of the journalling criteria you need to use a quote.

**You must combine our journalling criteria/theme with this sketch. **

I chose to talk about my own New Year's resolutions.  I'm looking forward to trying to be more optimistic and joyful this year.  I intend to enjoy more the opportunities that will be given and to be strong when difficulties rise up.

What about you?  What are you looking forward to in 2012?
