Hello Winter layout

It's December!
I have to be honest, from here until spring I just want everything to speed up so I can be warm again.
But in the meantime, I'll do winter layouts to share.

 

Today I'm creating for Scrap Our Stash and the challenge is to use 2 or more of the shapes; triangles, diamonds or hexagons.
As you can see I've done both diamonds and triangles.
I was creating the diamonds for my title area and the triangles were a result, so I added them at the top for a banner, embellishment cluster.

Thanks!

Shovel it layout

 Hi! I'm super excited to share my layout today.
This is a fun one.

I was looking for some photos of my husband and I to go with a title piece I had from Creative Embellishments. I did not end up using the piece on this layout as it went with some other photos better, but it inspired this layout.
And I love my title, pun intended.

This came together perfectly.
I used the big alpha stickers from the paper line I was using, but the smaller alphas are from a Halloween line.
My favorite part of this, besides the title, is the red pop the acrylic hearts give the layout.
I layered them over chipboard snowflakes. They are all from Creative Embellishments.
I'm totally getting all the acrylic I can after this.
LOVE THEM!

 

 

 I used a chalk marker on the Icicle chipboard. I love the look of it after it soaks into the chipboard a little. I did try a chalk marker that goes on a bit like a crayon and did not like that look as well.
Then I finished my layout off with the heart love flair in the center of my snowflake, it's also from Creative Embellishments.
I used a sketch from Paper Issues.

Thanks for stopping by!

Frozen Wonderland layout

Hello, hello!

I'm back today with another layout showcasing Creative Embellishments products. 

I really layered them on with this layout.
My title is 2 of the words from the Snow Word Set. I used a chalk marker on the Frozen and then blue liquid pearls on Wonderland.

To move the eye along my title I added some Frosted Blue Acrylic Snowflakes and the let it snow flair from the Winter Flair set.

 

Adding this chipboard corner piece from the Snowflake Page Corner Set was perfect for this layout! I really like leaving my chipboard naked when it goes with my layout and this was one of those times. I wanted to highlight some aspects of it but the rest was perfect as is. The big snowflake in the corner has stickles on it and the flourishes coming off of it have white liquid pearls.
After finishing that it was just a matter of little details like more and more Frosted Blue Acrylic Snowflakes! Love them!!

I used black ink around my paper pieces and the entire layout and a black cardstock to matte my main photo to keep the focus on it as the main element.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Winter photos layout

 Today's challenge is from Sketches In Thyme.
Here's the sketch:

 

And here is my layout:

I turned the sketch to fit the orientation of my photos.
These are some photos my daughter took, practicing her photo skills and enjoying the beauty that only winter and cold can create.
I tried to keep my layout simple so the focus would stay on the photos but I'm guessing I could have loaded it up and those photos would have still stood out. Just beautiful.

Thanks for stopping in!

Winter Cutie

 A new year and a new challenge at Scrap Our Stash!

Also, a new position for me in the line up.

I went from last to first in the order. That might take me a minute to get used to. lol

But here it is:

I love these oh so cute pics of my little guy!

They were perfect for this layout with the new challenge. 

Create a winter themed layout or use the word 'winter' in your title. Then add white paint, ink, snow or sequins.

I figured out my title later, but I think it was perfect. Then to fulfill the challenge I added splashes of white dylusions ink.

 

Make sure you join us at SOS for this fun challenge and chance to win.

just like Brother w/ Kreaxions

 Hello! It's DT Reveal day over at Just Imagine/Kreaxions punches!

The theme for today is Sparkle!!

This will be the last Kreaxions reveal you see from me as I'm stepping down from the dt, but wish my fellow dt members all good things in the future.

This layout is about my 2 sons and how the younger one just really idolizes his older brother. There is a 6 year gap between them and it often creates tension between them. So it's nice to see them playing and getting along together.

I chose the beautiful Season's Greetings line from Moxxie for this page.

 

I did a lot of layering so I could use the beautiful #312 Snowflake punch a lot and in different ways.

For the darker green layer I used the punch w/o any inserts to get the deep punch with both snowflakes and pretty corner punch. Then I used the punch with the A insert for the cream paper and the punched out snowflakes as embellishment. Going with our theme of sparkle, I've added lots of stickles and pearls for snowflake centers.

 

I did the same deep punch with the lighter green layer here as I used with the darker green layer but I lined the corner punch outs up so that the bottom piece fell away after going across the paper. I also use the punch on the corners of my photo w/ the C insert.

 

For this corner piece and under my photos I've created large snowflakes or doilies by punching circles with the punch.

Then I filled in the snowflakes with more stickles for a fun and sparkly layout.

Check out what the rest of the DT has done on the Kreaxions blog.

I hope you all have a fabulous New Year ahead!

Life w/ Sketches in Thyme

 Hey there! It's reveal day for me over at Sketches In Thyme.

Right now we are using this fun sketch from Bev Code:

 

And here is my take on it:

These photos are of my youngest playing in the snow. They are just so cute waddling around out there trying not to fall over because their snow clothes are so big and stiff on them. 

He had so much fun!

I kept to the same basic design of the sketch but made small adjustments to fit my needs.

Using a white pen on the dark purple was a fun way to add a bit of journaling. It makes me think of the snow.

Using different fonts and product in my title was fun and made it much more interesting.

You can play along with this sketch and enter to WIN the awesome prize. Check out Sketches In Thyme.

My guys w/ Bella Blvd

Hi!

I hope you're all doing well this week.

It's been pretty busy around my house lately, but I wanted to jump in here and show you this super fun layout I made of My Guys.

I used Bella Blvd's Christmas Cheer that I picked up at a local scrap store. I started with this fun blue polka-dot print that is actually from the Christmas Countdown collection and used my snowflake border and corner punches around it. Then I tore the middle out and layered it over a white cardstock background.

I knew I wanted to use this cute snow globe on my layout, so I cut it out and popped it up down in this corner. I also layered some of the other papers across the bottom of the layout.

I used the fun prints from these lines to create some banners for the top of my layout. Then added a few of the stickers I found from Bella too. I put my title over the banners and then outlined it with a colored marker to help it stand out a bit more.

These triangles were leftover from the banners I created for the top and I thought it would be fun to stack them at the bottom of the layout. A cute little flag behind them was perfect. It reminds me a bit of a pine tree.

I finished off my layout with a few more stickers, the snowflakes that I punched out earlier, Bella chevron washi tape (I LOVE cutting the chevrons into arrows!) and a bit of liquid pearls.

Thanks for stopping by!
