Laugh + Cheer.

For a while, I've been subscribed to different challenge blogs for scrapbooking/crafting but I have never participated. I know what?! So I got a little crazy and decided to take some challenges head on. I combined two challenges that I saw - and thought would be perfect together.  

One was a moodboard challenge from Scrap the Girls Blog - which was seriously... just straight to my heart but maybe because I can't get enough of gold... and what girl doesn't sometimes just love anything black??  

Also, there was this awesome sketch that I used from Let's Get Sketchy. Perfect for the three selfies I took of myself on New Years Eve. Don't judge, I may or may not have had liquid craziness. 



So here's my take on the combination :)

                             


                         

I wanted to make a page to celebrate the New Years with the selfies I took while waiting for my drinks. I'm excited for everything 2016 has to offer me and I can't wait to make the best out of every moment I can.  I kicked it off with my best friends and a few drinks. It couldn't be any better!  

I wanted to also leave you with a great tip :: 


Maybe it's just me, but I have a tendency to go balls to the wall - start using my strong adhesive and stick things where I want them to go. But best part, or not so much- is when I figure out I definitely dont' like it; than I have to pry it off of page also taking most of the paper off with it. Causing a huge mess and wasting tons of paper/embellishments in the process.

 So with Tombow's Removable Adhesive - I used a nice size strip of it on the back of everything as I was placing it down. It sticks so nice that you can pick the paper up to see your project straight on without falling off. When I went to move things, the embellishments and pictures came right off without any damage.  So it's perfect for that adhesive you need before you decide to test out all the craziness before you make your final decision. Even better, it's able to stick pretty well to even us as your final adhesive- just make sure you have it in every area you want stuck down. 

Hope you enjoyed the tip and give it a go!!
