Do you Want to Build a Snowman

This layout is another that I put together whilst away in Berkshire the other weekend. Considering we get snow so infrequently, I was surprised to see that this is the 23rd snow themed layout that I have created and posted on this blog!

I layered a variety of pieces of patterned paper (many quite old) in shades of beige and brown beneath a photograph of Lara taken in the snow just before Christmas. A white paper doily was also placed underneath the layers on the left side.

The 'Snowman' part of my title was cut using a Silhouette cut file and the rest was created with stickers from Simple Stories.

I embellished the layout with die cut snowflakes which were glittered to add sparkle. 

Gold sequins were scattered around the layout and a die cut saying 'remember this' and stickers for the date were added to finish the layout.

Scrapology March Layout Challenge - G is for Glitter

This month on Scrapology the team chose a super layout by our own design team member Anita as inspiration. With the challenge to use Glitter on the layout this was a good opportunity to break out the Stickles, glitter, glitter stickers and all things bright and sparkly.

This was my layout.

I used papers from My Minds Eye 'Lost and Found' collection, 'Dreamy 2' collection and 'Quite Contrary' collection and with some careful gutting I was able to stretch those papers to enable me to mat and layer to create a frame effect.

I made the flowers from some scraps of paper cut into flower shapes on the Craft Robo and Stickled them to make them sparkle. I used brads for the centres which I glittered.

The chipboard lettering used for the word 'Dream' came from a Lisa Bearnson chipboard kit bought from QVC probably 5+ years ago. I covered the naked chipboard and edges of the photo mat in microfine glitter to match the glitter on the sheet of MME Lost and Found die cut paper. I finished the layout with some glittery butterfly stickers

This is Anita's stunning layout which was the inspiration for mine and the rest of the design teams layouts .............
