Berry71Bleu DT & First Challenge Of The Year

Happy New Year fellow scrappers! 2013 is upon us & with a New Year comes new endeavors. So I'll start off this New Year with an announcement. I've been asked to join the Berry71Bleu design team & I've agreed to jump on board!

Marivic--the owner is quite the creative gal.  As the owner of two Etsy shops--Zeus & Zoe & Berry71Bleu--there's something for all types of scrappers.  Berry71Bleu which is scheduled to re-open soon, carries a variety of lovely handmade tags that add a lovely touch to any crafty project.  The corresponding challenge blog is designed to stimulate your creativity.  Tune in every month for a new challenge & the opportunity to win some goodies.

On this note, let me take the opportunity to introduce January's challenge which is 'All About Me'.  Marivic is doing the first challenge of the year & here it is in her own words as well as her example, prize & rules to play along.

This challenge is no-holds-barred...talk about your new year's resolution, your dreams, your childhood, your best and worst moments, what makes you laugh, cry, mad...what makes you feel beautiful...your best physical feature, what you wish you can change about yourself...your pet peeves, your frustrations, your favorite food, color...maybe a secret? whatever you want to talk about as long as it's all about you.

Since we are talking about you...(the queen!). Here is our January theme that you need to follow.

I followed our generous Sponsor 13 ARTS Frosted Life Collection...They are sponsoring the winner and our DT this month with this gorgeous paper collection.

Random Winner will receive a Vintage-style Skeleton Key Collection from 

Zeus and Zoe Etsy Shop

Here's what I made using Frosted Life Collection

I stenciled the background using crackle paste. I misted it as well. Used glass beads in some portions. Just a random mix of everything.

One of my Tags..Marie Antoinette is part of the theme..
