Lasting Memories REVEAL #427 - Celebrate Simplicity

At Lasting Memories in January we will work on using up some of our supplies in our stash that maybe we have - dare I say it - a little too much of - OR items that are being neglected - hence our theme of "This and That". For the first challenge of the new year, we are going to concentrate on all that pretty paper we have in our stash.

Challenge #427 - Patterned Paper -
Use at least 3 different patterned papers on your layout. You can use more but you must use at least 3.
