Hi, everyone!

Welcome to this month's Journaling Challenge!
I'm Katina, a.k.a. The Scrappy Kat, and I'm proud to be your host for the year of 2026!

This month we are going to incorporate something new into your journaling.



Let those layouts come!

Upload your layout to our Journaling Challenge gallery and share it here!




- Monthly Challenge Rules -



You will receive the collab of the month in which you COMPLETE your 10 challenges.


For Example:


You do 5 in March, 2 in April and 6 in May - you would get the May collab.
You do 7 in March and 4 in April - you get the April collab
You do 10 each month you get EACH Collab!! (BEST DEAL!!)


Challenge rewards are usually sent out between the 5th and the 8th of the next month.


All challenges layouts must have at least 80% of GS products - Daily Download and Welcome wagon counts.
(See individual challenge rules for specific rules on usage such as Designer Spotlight Challenge)


Speed Scraps and Chats DO NOT count towards your challenge rewards (of course your host will usually provide fun goodies for all attending their SS or Chat)


Every challenge must have a unique LO. Meaning, you can not use the same LO for more then 1 challenge.


You are responsible for tracking your completed challenges, find the monthly tracking thread in the "Cookie Jar", and follow the guidelines.
 
I have always wanted to try my hand at making soap... this past year I finally gathered what I needed and set my goals to make some scented bars for gifts.. I used essential oils like jasmine & pine, color dyes, dried jasmine buds & pine needles, used Shea Butter and glycerin soap bases, and got it under way. Using silicon molds I made about 30 different scented bars with different dried flowers and herbs, it was such fun!
Thanks to @thescrappykat for the inspiration... I used @AimeeH Photogenic template and @AimeeH Cozy Charm kit. Title font is Bubble, text font is Courier New; product images are from my soap making purchases; soap images are mine
 
I saw one online and knew I needed to created something new and then I just couldn't stop making the quilted bows. I made them for all the mothers and Grandmothers as well as all of Dad's sisters. And best part - they are reversible, so good for two seasons!

Here is my something new.

Journaling:

My cousin gave me this mini-scene kit for Christmas & I debated whether to try to put it together or not. Finally, I decided to give it a go.

It took an awful lot of patience, which I lack these days, and time. It was my first attempt at such a thing & pretty much my last.

While I appreciate the gift, I think it is better suited for younger people. People with better eyes, steadier hands & a heck of a lot more patience than I have.

Any old hoot, this is the final product. It doesn’t look too bad, but sadly the lights don’t work. Oh well, it is what it is. Because I sure the heck am not taking it apart to try to fix the issue.

It will have to sit on the bookcase just like this & anyone who makes a comment will get a knuckle sandwich from yours truly. Ha....
