Hello and Happy January!!! Can you even Believe that it is already 2018?!!! I absolutely cannot believe it! But here we are and I am ready to share the new sketch for this first half of the month!

Here is the wonderful sketch that Laura made. I really love the 4 photos at the bottom and the diamond design at the top!!

We have 2 sponsors as we always do for each sketch reveal. This first one is Scrapmatts. They are giving away 2 large pieces of chipboard. I have never heard of this company before so I am really excited to get acquainted with them!

The second sponsor is one of my all time favorite shops, SpiegelMom Scraps. Jody is such a sweet person and absolutely amazing at making gorgeous sequin mixes!! If you haven’t checked out her shop, you really need to head on over there now!! (I mean it, go take a look, just make sure to come back to finish reading the rest of my post and to see my process video:) lol)

And this is my layout I made using the awesome sketch from Laura! I had these cute photos of Tinian opening the present he made for my husband and I for Christmas 2016. This sketch was perfect with the 4 photos on it!

Of course I had to add some sequins as well as a little cluster in the top left of the layout.

I kept my title very simple and used pieces in my December Kits I bought from the Secret Not Secret Kit Club.

I love all these cute and little embellishments! I kept the embellishing very minimal because I want to be able to journal and have you focus on the photos.

The sequins that I used are from SpiegelMom Scraps, like I said, she’s amazing at making mixes. This one is called ‘Road Trips & Sunshine’. I really LOVE this one!!

Here is a broader look at my overall layout. I really love this sketch and had fun using an older collection from Amy Tan.
