    Welcome to A Whimsical Adventure's 1st challenge for January 2025!

    As you have seen from A Whimsical Adventure's second challenge (hosted by Christa here) there is the opportunity to win 1 of 3 coupons to Anja's - A Whimsical Adventure's store!

    To those who complete the challenges, we will have a random draw for coupons. One drawing will be for a $15 coupon to A Whimsical Adventure's store, one for a $10 coupon to AWA's store and if you complete both challenges you will be put into a drawing to win a $20 coupon to A Whimsical Adventure's store!

    What a wonderful way to start off January, and the new year!

    For this challenge, Anja has generously provided a wonderful freebie for you to use. Thank you, Anja!!!!!

    Get it here -- >>> https://the-lilypad.com/store/Have-A-Roaring-New-Year-January-2025-Challenge-Freebie.html


    Instructions are simple:
    -You MUST use all four pieces of the freebie.
    -Use 100% A Whimsical Adventure product
    -You may use a template if you chose, but it must be from A Whimsical Adventure.
    -A photo is optional.

    Here is my page. I went a bit off-topic, but not really. :-)
    I used ALL of Anja's freebies from Have a Roaring New Year. In addition, I used one of Anja's Whimsical templates, a few items from A Winter's Tale, and pieces from Anja's Journaling and Planner Edition of Have a Roaring New Year. Complete credits are in my gallery.

    And here is another one. Thinking back to photos where DH & I toasted, my only recollection of any was from our wedding. And I think I made this work!

    For more inspiration, here are several lovely layouts from Anja's creative team:

    From @cfile:
    A Roaring New Year and A Kiss at Midnight.. font is Montreal Diamond Regular.. photo is personal.

    She also used Have A Roaring New Year Papers and Have A Roaring New Year Elements

    From @Annsofie

    Thanks for the freebie. We are too old for a "roaring" new year so I journaled what is real for us.

    I used all four items from the challenge freebie, although I re-coloured the flowers on the paper to dusky rose from the original purple. I also hid the word 'year' on the photo and added the word 'life' at the left hand side of the page. Champage bottle/glasses blended into paper behind the journaling and the jeweled embellishment used in the cluster at the right hand side. ETA just spotted a typo which I have corrected on my own version but feeling to lazy to re-upload (it's past my bedtime!).

    All items used credited in gallery and all by A Whimsical Adventure as per challenge requirements.

    Thank you for the goodies and for the challenge. Off to look for the other one!
