It's About Time, Happy New Year, and Chicken

You can probably tell that I am having a lot of fun these days. I am trying to think outside the box and it is actually harder than I thought. I am so used to the structure of a regular scrapbook layout. You have your paper or papers, then you add elements, a photo (or more than one), and then maybe some journaling. You follow certain 'rules'. I have been trying to use the same papers and elements but add some effects, blending modes, and in some cases no photo or journaling. It is fun! Try it!

This first one is for a challenge at SBG called 'Impressions of Time'.
