Hi there! I hope you are having a great day! Today I have a layout to share for the 13 arts January challenge! This month's challenge is to create something based on the fun sketch shown below while incorporating the theme TIME.
I made a layout feating a photo of Scott, Connor, Meredith and myself that was taken on a beach on Maui while on a family vacation:
I combined a variety of pretty 13arts patterned papers: 13arts Paper "cold wall"13arts Paper "Moondust"Paper Flowers Light Pink
I added embellished with the following 13arts beautiful flowers: Paper Flowers Light PinkWhite RosesPink Twigs:
and of course added lots of texture using an assortment of amazing 13arts mediums: 13arts Ayeeda Acrylic Gesso Primer13arts Ayeeda Medium Acrylic Gel Medium13arts Ayeeda Medium Acrylic Modeling Paste13arts Ayeeda Gesso Acrylic Primer13arts Ayeeda Powder 3D Glass Filler13arts Ayeeda Mist Pearl Turquoise Light13arts Ayeeda Mist Pearl Pink:
Here are some step shots I took along the way that will hopefully give you a better understanding how I created this layout.

Step 1: Apply 13arts Ayeeda Acrylic Gesso Primer to patterned paper: 
Step 2: For texture and design, apply 13arts Ayeeda Medium Acrylic Modeling Paste along with the On The Diagonal Stencil:
Step 3: Randomly add color using the following 13arts Mists: 13arts Ayeeda Mist Pearl Turquoise Light and 13arts Ayeeda Mist Pearl Pink:
Step 4: Add various textures using the following 13arts mediums: 13arts Ayeeda Acrylic Gesso Primer13arts Ayeeda Medium Acrylic Gel Medium13arts Ayeeda Medium Acrylic Modeling Paste13arts Ayeeda Gesso Acrylic Primer and 13arts Ayeeda Powder 3D Glass Filler:
