Welcome to a new edition of the blog hop challenge! Now that the holidays are behind us and life is (hopefully) slowing down, I encourage you to take some time to play along. This month's challenge is...
Circles!!!
Circles add visual interest to your pages and there are sooo many possibilities, I'm sure you will enjoy designing with this challenge in mind. Weather you choose to cut your background, your photos, or add a circle as a decorative element (think doilies... hint, hint!), just have fun with it!
Here's a page I created using the Amish Quilt kit. (If you didn't order this one, run to get it, it's FABULOUS!!!) I wanted the circle to ground my cut-out photo so the result is quiet subtle.
I used a couple of addons from the CC store, like the chip pieces , Bette paper, and the Prima pearls with swirls. The butterfly stamp is from last November's Just Dessert kit addon and the envelope and alphas are from my stash.
Here's how to play:
- Create a layout that includes with circle element(s).
- Post your layout on your personal blog or in the CC Gallery. The title of your post should be “Coordinates Collections January Blog Hop Challenge.”
- Come back here and use Mister Linky at the end of this post to add the URL link to your layout. Remember in order to qualify for the prize, you must post your project by 11pm EST January 20th. Be sure to link to your actual Blog Hop project POST, not just to your blog.
- During the week, visit the blogs/galleries then head to the CC Blog Hop forum! Take some time to praise your fellow scrappers, discuss anything new you might have learned and provide each other with valuable feedback.
A lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $25 Gift Certificate to the CC Store! The winning layout will be posted on the CC Blog on January 22nd. Have fun everyone!
wow what a stunning layout...

I just added mine. Thanks for the challenge. Circles brought to mind ornaments so I made some using some circle die cuts and added cricut cuts and metal pieces to make hooks.
