    Happy new year everyone! Can you believe it is 2023 already?! Welcome to Kim Jensen's designer challenge for January 2023. Kim's shop is bursting with gorgeous papers, so use this month's template to showcase your favorites!

    You can find this month's template in Kim's store HERE.

    https://the-lilypad.com/store/January-2023-Challenge-Freebie.html

    Add photos and elements as you like to make a scrap page with or on top of the background made with Kim's papers, or make a card, etc. Feel free to get creative and use the template as you like, but make sure it's still recognizable in your final project.

    BONUS CHALLENGE: If you use at least three different Kim Jensen kits or packs (such as elements and alphas), you'll be entered to win the bonus $10 coupon!

    Challenge Rules:
    *Use at least 75% Kim Jensen Designs product (current or retired from TLP) to create your layout meeting the criteria listed above.
    *Upload your layout to the Kim Jensen gallery. Please include your credits in your gallery description.
    *Post your layout to this thread and link to your gallery post.
    *Layouts must be new for this challenge and cannot be combined with other challenges. MOC layouts do not count for this challenge.
    *All layouts must be posted by 11:59pm Pacific Time, Feb 6, 2023.

    Prizes:
    *One layout will be chosen to receive a $10 coupon for Kim Jensen Designs’ shop!
    *All other participants will receive a 20% off coupon for Kim Jensen Designs’ shop!
    *You may enter multiple layouts to increase your odds of winning the $10 prize, but each scrapper will only receive one coupon.
    *As a BONUS, Kim will be giving away an EXTRA $10 coupon from the entries that use at least three different Kim Jensen kits or packs.

    Here is my page and a few pages from my fellow CT members for your inspiration.

    Thank you for the template. I used papers from happy mail, the hair pin from string bats 4 and the word art and art doll from fashion friendly.

    Had a lot of fun with this one. Definitely followed Melinda's color strategy to get a good balance of light and dark, so thanks for being scrapliftable! Used Kim's Carpe Diem kit.

    * this originally was all soft green/teal background, but at the end I decided it was too harsh against the warmer tones of the photos, so I merged the background and did a hue and saturation layer to get the warmer tones*

    Thanks for the background, it was fun playing with it.
