Our challenge is to get creative with journaling - remember to write things down and what better time than the new year.
I always love the New Year and the excitement that it brings. For some of us - it can be a new beginning, a time of change, or a continuation of something important to us. That magical date of January 1st and it's meaning and feelings that it evokes gives us a chance to think about our lives and where we're going and where we've been. We challenged some of our dreamgirl's to create layouts that focus on the New Year. We hope they inspire you to get creative and celebrate the new year with a page about you.
Post your New Year Challenge layout in our challenge gallery for a chance to win a gift certificate to our shoppe.
And to help get you started on new year journaling - our fab designer's Julia and Lauren have created a freebie for you. Download Here.
