Good Morning everyone! I cannot believe that December is almost over and we will be welcoming the new year very soon! One of my goals this year is to participate in a challenge that I have never done before. Whew! The year is almost up and I just made it!!! The blog that I picked is
Kraft Plus Challenges because I LOVE anything and everything about Kraft paper!!!
The
Kraft Plus Challenge for the month of December is all about travel:
When I planned my page, I decided to scrap about one of the best travel experiences that I had this past year: when John, Anne and I went to NYC to see the sights and to celebrate our 25th anniversary! Here is the layout that I came up with:
I used one of my favorite photos from our New York trip:
And I converted it to black and white:
For my background, I found a world map made out of music paper and decided it was perfect for this page!!!
Here is a close up:
That's it for today! I want to take this time to wish each and every one of you a very blessed and happy new year! The best is yet to come . . .
Hugs and thanks to all of you!

Hello Sharon! Happy New Year!! I'm excited about your new challenge, I love everything kraft too!! What a fun first prompt this was, turned out so good!! Thank you for your blog visit, love seeing your comments. We are ready for the new Middle this week too, and I heard that Susan had a birthday on the 26. We stayed up till midnight, quite the challenge for me but I did it. Last year was a good one, sad times but good too. Ready and excited for this year!! It's cold here now, funny a week ago we had the windows open and now the heat is on. Stay warm friend and enjoy the last of break with your loved ones. Hugs and blessings to you and yours xo
