I am still scrapping the start of winter! LOL! I finally found the envelope of photos with the first snowfall of the season in it. I went into my winter stash and picked out some paper and embellishments and got to work..
I started with a navy backing sheet to match the page that will go across from this one. There was a really pretty SEI patterned paper of snow and trees that I decided would be perfect as it would pull the two pages together. I had a great vellum quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, some snowflake stickers, a title sticker from an Echo Park sheet and a Jack Frost puffy sticker that coordinates with the ones on the other page.
And here it is:
I am entering this in the 3 Scrappy Boys Spring 2014 Crop First Challenge which calls for using stash that is at least one year old for this layout. The only new item on the page is the photos! I suspect that most of the supplies used go way beyond one year old! I am a terrible scrap supply hoarder!
I am also entering this in Scrapbook.com April Monochrome Aquadoodle and Scrapbook.com April Boys Only.
Hope you all are enjoying a peaceful and blessed Easter.
Thanks for stopping by.
when everything you need just falls right into place?
Last night I sat down to choose a challenge to work on.
I selected this one from The Memory Nest:
I had this photo of my son, his girlfriend and her brother and his girlfriend that was taken in Times Square out on my desk.
There is a great story to the photo - this was the night John (Kathryn's brother) asked Sally to marry him. He had all her friends and family in bleachers there and he did a 'mic' check and had everyone repeat what he was saying. What a big exciting surprise.
Right next to the photo I saw a package of papers that I was trying to finish up that were exactly that color combo.
I rotated the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise.
I used a selection of embossing folders and I embossed (and de-bossed) my triangles. (yes, the de-bossing was an accident - I didn't watch what side up I put the paper in but I thought it would be a good look for a change!)
I added a thankful quote.
And here it is:
I am also entering this layout in a site I just discovered - 3 Scrappy Boys in their 4th Anniversary Celebration sketch challenge which calls for flipping your sketch!
And now - another message - Paper Secrets is having a 45% off sale through November 30, 2013 and a great giveaway of a $20 gift certificate to the shop! Head there and get some great bargains - I did!
Come back later as I plan to be busy creating later today!
