Welcome to 2014 & 3 Challenges!
Happy New Year!
Each day is an opportunity to receive God's mercies, which are new every morning(Lamentations 3:22-23), and surely each year we welcome, each January first is a blessing, indeed!
Do you participate in the tradition of making New Year's Resolutions? What do you want to change about the way you live? Many people who make resolutions want to stop doing something, or start doing something. Do you have any resolutions about papercrafting? Maybe you want to finish a layout each week in 2014, work on Christmas cards each month, or try to use what you already have in your stash! We hope our monthly theme, layout, and card challenges will help you meet your goals while encouraging you to see the daily miracles all around you!
Let's celebrate the beginning of 2014 with some challenges for inspiration and motivation!
The Main Theme Challenge for January 1 is, "Friends Forever."
Friends are truly a gift from God, and they come into our lives in many ways! That means there are lots of ways to interpret our theme, and we can't wait to see what you create! Our Bible verse for inspiration this month comes from Proverbs 17:17, "A friend loves at all times...."
We also have a Layout Sketch Challenge, with a sketch from Ashley Horton Designs, and a Card Sketch Challenge with a sketch from Pagemaps!

Main Theme Challenge: "Friends Forever"
You may create any type of papercrafted project that fits the theme of "Friends Forever," and you may use the Proverbs 17:17 Bible verse as well. You may enter a layout, card, tag, wall hanging, canvas, gift packaging, etc.. - as long as it uses paper as one of it's materials!

Layout Sketch Challenge:
Our friend in papercrafting, and Sister in Christ, Ashley Horton, of Ashley Horton Designs, let us borrow one of her amazing sketches this month! I chose one of her sketches with multiple photos to give those of you who want to scrap lots of photos in 2014, a jump start! (I'm in this category, being about 3 years behind on my youngest son's photos!) We can't wait to visit your blog and view your layouts! You may rotate, flip or exchange the elements on the sketch, but it must be recognizable. You may use this month's theme, "Friends Forever," the Proverbs 17:17 Bible verse, or you may use your own theme.
Card Sketch Challenge:
Our card sketch this month comes from our friends at Page Maps! We'd love for you to create a card based on this month's sketch and link it on the top right of the blog page! You can rotate, flip or exchange elements, but we need to be able to recognize the sketch. You may use this month's theme, "Friends Forever," the Proverbs 17:17 Bible verse, or you may come up with your own theme for your card!
