Sunday At The Studio

The start of another week. Have no problem with January whizzing by. Especially since it's about 8 degrees here and snow is predicted (again!) for this week. Bring on the Spring already!
Sunday means a new challenge at The Studio. This week Amanda asked us to make a page about a long-term goal or plan. Here's my page:
Focused my page on my need to get fit this year. Move more, eat less...that's the plan. I wrote my journaling on the back of the tag - which is a plain manila tag from Staples, stamped with my new Studio Calico grid stamp - on the back the Studio Calico lined stamp. Also in that pocket is my Weight Watcher's monthly pass card from the month I joined. Most of the material on this page came from my Studio Calico January kit. Here's a close ups of the tag pocket area:

materials: cardstock: American Crafts; patterned paper: October Afternoon, Sassafras Lass, Basic Grey; journal tag (shaped), red letters, butterfly chipboard: Basic Grey; letter stickers: Sassafras Lass; pocket: KI Memories; misc: buttons, tag, measure tape ribbon.

I'm always blow away by what The Studio design team does with these challenges. This week is no exception. So why not stop by and play along? (psst....we love it when you play along with us!)

The only good thing about these freezing cold days is I don't feel guilty about being at my desk all day. So off I go! Enjoy the day everyone!

I will join you in your quest to move more and eat less, Val. Its always better to have a buddy for these things! Your layout is FAB. The measuring tape twill around the pocket is genius. :) Great photos and terrific design-stellar work, my friend!
