LM 481 - Out of Your Comfort Zone - Only You

This month as Lasting Memories, our theme is "out of your comfort zone."  This week, we are focusing on YOU.  The photo should only feature you!

Since I don't have kids, my layouts focus on my husband and I.  I create lots of layouts about myself, so this wasn't out of my comfort zone at all.

I took a photo with a stuffed Santa while Christmas shopping, so I decided to use it for this challenge.

Supplies:

All patterned paper, stickers, chipboard and puffy stickers by Crate Paper Merry Days Collection

Red cardstock by Close to my Heart

January Challenge YOUrself

Here's my first DT entry for Challenge YOUrself.  This month, we are using Ali Edward's one little word.  You choose a word to represent you for the year.

I chose the word "Present."  I want to live in the moment and be more present for family and friends.  I want to pay attention to what's happening in front of me and spend less time on my phone.

I chose a photo from last year on New Year's Eve.  I bartend two nights per week and New Years Eve happened to fall on my night.  I took this selfie while I was working at the bar.

Supplies:
Patterned papers by Simple Stories
Happy New Year banner by Jolees
Gold glitter paper by Crate Paper (in Merry Days tag kit)
Thicker letter stickers

January Stick it Down - 2nd Attempt

I really loved this month's sketch, so I decided to create a second layout this month for Stick it Down.

I decided to create a layout using photos from the Philadelphia Flower Show this year.  I went with a friend from work and we had a great time.  

Supplies:

Patterned papers by Crate Paper Willow Lane

Chipboard elements and stickers by Crate Paper Willow Lane

January Stick it Down

This is the January sketch at Stick it Down:

I took a TON of photos of my pets this holiday season.  This sketch was a perfect way to get a bunch of them into one layout.  I will do a similar layout with the photos of my dogs.

Supplies:

Patterned Paper by Craft Smart (Hot Buy Paper Pad at Michaels)

Flair by Scrappin Happy Studio

Cat Puffy Stickers by The Paper Studio
