January 2026 In A Word Challenge with The Brit Chick

Tamsin McAtee

Designer: The Brit Chick
*** Welcome to In A Word Challenge for January ***

The idea of this challenge is that I will give you a single word. You then scrap the word in whatever way feels right to you. Additionally, the word also has to be included in the title or on a visible word strip on your layout. I really do hope that you can have lots of fun with this challenge.

The Word For January Is: Anticipation
January is a month of new beginnings,anticipation for new starts to the year.
Show me your beautiful Layouts
Don't forget to include the word in the title or word strip (it doesn't have to be the only word, but it must be in there somewhere)

Happy Scrapping

Jenny & Anna have begun their quilting journey. Many of our hobbies take patience and time, but that only adds to the anticipation as we continue to work. Gardening and growing flowers each summer seems like there is so much work, and all at once we have beautiful flowers filled with masses of butterflies. Quilts are much the same - so much work and then lots of snuggles under the thing that too so much time to make! It is fun to share these skills with the kids.
