52 Pick Up

After being away, I am a little behind on my 52 Pick Up challenges at LSBS. I am determined to be caught up by the end of the week. Here are a couple I have managed to do already. For this one we had to use a picture on a tissue box for our inspiration and use a colour that is out of your comfort zone. I chose to draw my inspiration from the candles in the picture and use the colour purple - I avoid using purple for some reason.

I made the candles out of rolled paper. The journalling reads 'When I was little I always thought 30 was so old! But now that I am that age, I don't feel old at all!'.

For this challenge we had to use paper and embellishments that we have had for ages. You know when you just have to have something and 'save' it for the perfect layout and that layout never arrives - well those things. For mine I used some Chatterbox papers I have had forever and the embellishment stickers that were part of a pack also by Chatterbox. I kept the layout pretty simple:
