New year, new beginnings

Good morning! It's time to kick off our very first Colorful Creations challenge at our new home, and we have a fabulous sketch to inspire you. This is my take on the sketch
I used the Teresa Collins collection "Vintage Finds" papers for this page. So many of the inspirational words and sayings are things I want to focus on this year, so they worked perfectly for this layout. Pulling inspiration from my photo, I randomly added some gesso and watercolor paint on my background.
The flourish die cuts were made with a Cheery Lynn die, and the glittered alphas are Thickers. The clock transparency is from Heidi Swapp.
 
My flowers are a mix of Prima, Funtoolas, and my stash. The metal clock charms are "vintage findings" from Michael's.
And here's the fab sketch designed by Brenshevia
Now it's your turn so go grab your scrappy supplies! You have until Jan. 30th to link up your projects here and a winner will be randomly chosen for this month's prize. I hope you join us, I can't wait to see your projects. Thanks so much for dropping in and your lovely comments!
