For the December 2013 "Santa's Sack Progressive Challenge" (for now I've postponed step 3...have an idea but not sure how to approach yet):
1: add a horizontal something (strip of paper, ribbon, more stitching, anything) across the top of the extra papers on the left side, extending into the "free" space.
2: add a picture, in a frame, on top of your new horizontal item, staying to the left of center. (I love my free spaces)
