Fun in the Snow

Hello, Crafty Friends, and welcome to my blog!

Today I am sharing my double page layout created with the Stick It Down double page sketch:

And when I say layout, I mean layouts, as I made two with the same sketch!

I loved this month's sketch, as it allows for multiple photos, as well as plenty of room for the patterned papers and the embellishments to be showcased. However, I had too many photos to include on the one page, so ended up making two double page layouts - and just to keep things simple, I used the same sketch for both.

I wanted to do some stash busting, so I selected the Winter Market collection from Carta Bella, which is a beautiful snow themed kit, but was a bit of an impulse buy, as we don't have that much snow around here.

As much as I love the papers in this collection, the embellishments don't really resonate with my taste - so I decided to create my own embellishments from the patterned papers of the kit with my Silhouette machine - these are the same diecut shapes I used on last month's layout, but a completely different colour scheme!

I scattered the snowflakes on the layout, following the sketch pretty closely, and added some phrase stickers. I added some white snowflake sequens and some ink splatters, then did my journaling to complete the layout.

I hope you find my wintery layouts inspiring - you can see how they came together in my process video here.
