Happy New Year and Snapshots Layout for Colorful Options

Happy New Year, everyone! May 2026 be a wonderful year full of scrapping opportunities for you all. I was invited to be a guest designer for Colorful Options this month, and I have to say it was a fun way to start the year! Their color board was monochromatic blue, not a strength for me, but hopefully I rose to the challenge as I found a bunch of blue items to put together my layout. The challenge is open all month, so feel free to hop on over and play along! Here's my layout:


And here's the challenge board:

Recipe:
Happiness Never Grows Old stamp set
Magnolia papers (MME)
Outdoor Denim & White Daisy cardstock
Sky, Outdoor Denim & Black ink
Star Spangled Blue marker
Birdsong Ephemera Bits (49 & Market)
Floral embellishments (The Paper Studio)
Teal enamel dots
Blue Adornaments fibers (EK Success)
Circle Double Stitched Steel dies (Art Impressions)
Challenges: Heart's Quest Challenge Blog #81 - 6 blue hearts; Little Red Wagon #839 Use the Force - I used force to die-cut the stitched circle and to stamp the leaves.
