Snow Day of Scrappin'

We're snowed in (again)!  I am quite tired of all the snow this winter. Is it spring yet?

Anyway, after shovelling, I retired to my scrap room and got a few layouts done.

This first layout is a design I use a lot to showcase two 4x6 photos.  This page features Webster's Pages Home for the Holiday's Mistle Toe Kisses paper mounted on chocolate brown cardstock. The holly spray is from Prima and the lace and sticker embellishments are also Webster's.

I love the look of the  little journalling card tucked under the glittered leaves

I also have enjoyed playing with the Anna Griffin Valentina paper.  Here's another idea I scraplifted from the AG website.  I changed the title to make it more fitting of my two boys horsing around in the snow, but what a fun Valentine layout for boys. Who cares if it's pink!

 

Hope you find some time to get creative in between shovelling this winter season. Enjoy!

Websters and Prima

Two of my new favorite scrapbooking manufacturers...Webster's Pages and Prima.  And don't they just go together so well!  I took a couple of great photos of thistles and a lone butterfly on Skyline Drive this fall, probably the last thistles of the season.  When I saw this spray with the blue and purple butterfly from Prima, I knew it was a perfect compliment to my photos.  But I hadn't really found the right paper until I stumbled upon this beautiful paper from Webster's Pages.  I was looking for the Winter's Wings line (all sold out at my favorite scrapbook store) when I spotted these gorgeous garden papers.  The paper is very heavy and so beautiful that it doesn't need much else in terms of complimentary patterned paper to make it just shine. I had some old paper flowers that I inked a bit with Quick Quotes "tahiti" to tone down the purple.  A couple of punched butterflies, a little ribbon and a title using cloth Thickers from American Crafts and DONE! I love the look - and the layout.
