CKC blog LIRNH kit cover page using TSR Stash Challenge to create

New Year craft stash motivation to create cover page

Above: the very eclectic blend of LIRNH kit elements with a few add-ins from my inventory will be the cover page for the album/notebook that chronicles our personal couple's challenge to try to get 23 dates completed within a 23-mile radius of our home by our 23rd wedding anniversary. We started December 30, 2018 and we have until January 27, 2019. As I'm typing this blog post, we've had 8 dates and I've scrapped 2 1/2!!!!!

Below: saw a online crafting friend's blog post using this prompt and decided to try it myself!

Note: If and when I can find out where this is generated from, I will edit in the link and credit....
Mystery solved/edit:
The Scrap Room's Subscribers and Fans Facebook group is a 'closed' group. Once I was approved, I found the TSR Stash Challenge; beforehand I only had limited access. Link to their FB page:

Below: the ID badge for CKC blog, the motivational force behind the kit of papers and embellishments I put together last week that I titled "Love Is Reaching New Heights" (LIRNH)

Design Notes for the January 2019 Stash Challenge to select items from craft inventory for each letter making the words "New Year"=
1. N = noted journaling card and piece of note pad lined paper
2. E = enamel dots (used at top of each hot air balloon)
3. W = wood veneer die-cut numbers and wood grain print decorative tape
4. Y = yellow print paper (add-in; had pulled it to use during Christmas holiday week but didn't then) and other yellow tones in several cardstocks by My Mind's Eye that were in my LIRNH kit
5. E = elliptical shaped sticky pad speech bubble-kind of journaling spot
6. A = arrows (stencil arrow that I drew on the "noted" journaling card and the arrow 'dingbat' sticker at the top of the layout)
7. R = ribbon; creamy sheer tied bow on the bottom right corner of #2

I love how this cover page layout turned out! It is so quirky, colorful, pattern-ful, resourceful, and creative!!!

*please note: one of the whole page photos is with the LO inserted into a plastic sheet protector; and it shows in the close-up photos, too

Loving the versatility of the LIRNH kit and how it has made documenting our anniversary dating challenges so very easy!!!

CKC blog LIRNH kit Card 2 uses sketch from CCMWF group

Card 2 will be niece's 3rd anniversary card!

Sketch (shown at end of this post and in the previous post) was reversed 180 degrees:

Papers are old inventory that I've included in this month's January kit for CKC that I've titled "Love Is Reaching New Heights". These 2 specific papers are part of my 2019 stack of 100 papers for the Facebook group "100 Pattern Papers Challenge".

The gray areas make about a 4.25" square. I will probably personalize this for my niece and her husband before I mail this with either their initials or adding a #3. She's my god-daughter so I don't want to forget to recognize a milestone for her!

Above: the motivational prompt kit from FJ/Felicity Jane (Hannah) revealed October 2018 that was selected by CKC blog Master Forger Susan to be what we try to counterfeit/forge/copy-cat from items in our stockpiles (or at least a massive stash!)

Below: one of the photos for my LIRNH kit that I blogged about last weekend; note gray and white floral and gray tonal damask are in the top row.

Below: this image is the sketch prompt for CCMWF's challenge (find them on Facebook) this week:

CKC blog LIRNH kit card 1 using CCMWF sketch

Our #23 anniversary card for my husband

Our love is reaching new heights! The hot air balloon cardstock was used in layout #1 and now for card #1 using the LIRNH kit for January's challenge for CKC blog.

50% of the card comes from the kit and the other half are add-ins. Kit included the hot air balloon CS, chevron newsprint papers, enamel dots, teal glittered numbers, the 'together' label, and white CS.

Sketch for card focal was based on this FB group's challenge this week (CCMWF)=

Shout-out to the FB group, 100 Pattern Papers Challenge, too because the chevron print paper is over 1 year old owned, cloud paper is 8-10 years old and the decorative tape is about 5 years old. Past time to get used, don't you think?!?!!! Glad for these groups to get me motivated to look at my old inventory each month in new ways to start using these products!!!
