***CLOSED*** JANUARY 5: RECIPE CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone! Happy January and MOC! I'm so thrilled that MOC has come back to TLP and we all get to scrap and hang out! I'm away part of the month, but the cool thing is with MOC, is you can scrap in any order, and at anytime.

One of my favorite challenges is the Recipe Challenge, and I'm lucky enough to host it this year. Let's get our scrap on!

Here are the items that you must include on your page.
1. One plain light background paper - think pale, but any color.
2. Add 2 more patterned papers to the layout - any way you want, any pattern or color.
3. Blend some paint, splatter, or gesso to any of the papers on your layout.
4. Photos - let's add up to 3 photos, they can be framed or not, it's up to you. Minimum 1 photo, Maximum 3 photos.

Can't wait to see what everyone creates! It always amazes me how we can take so many different creative approaches to creating! Always inspiring too!
