On Trend- Let it Snow!

One of the prettiest things about a Northern winter has to be the snow; from each tiny individual crystal masterpiece, to the soft blankets of drifting snow on the ground, or outlining the trees. It's no wonder that snow as a topic for scrapbook pages, and snowflakes as embellishments are such a popular theme. Want to add instant wow to your winter projects? Just add snow!

 used the December kit of Gossamer Blue for this layout, because the bright colors go so well with the bright colors in the photo and the white of the snow.

I love the stunning starburst and layering Audrey used!

Practical Scrapper Mary Pat Siehl
used the Moxxie collection Winterland as the background paper with the snowflakes. She added a SOG winter stamp and some bling to mimic like ice.  

Practical Scrapper Wendi Robinson

uses a traditional blue palette for her snow page, but spices it up with splashes of hot pink.

Practical Scrapper Nicole Laha

keeps her theme subtle with a trio of snowflakes to allude to the ice fishing trip featured on her page.

Practical Scrapper Erin Morehouse

layers a mixture of stencils (Prima) , diecuts (Maya Road), wooden snowflakes (Studio Calico)  and Gems (Robin's Nest) to give her page a frosty feel. 

So go on, add as little or as much snow to your projects as you want...remember you don't have to drive in it, or shovel it!

Frugal Finds: Leftovers from Christmas

Christine, Carolina, and Cathy are back today with a frugal finds feature on using some leftovers from Christmas.  Dig thru that stash of yours, you never know what you might come up with!

Practical Scrapper Christine decided to play with tinsel and see what she could come up with.  She laid down a whole bunch of tacky glue on her heart and then laid rows of tinsel down.  Afterwards she trimmed the edges.  She also found there were spots she had to give it a haircut :) to make it all lay correctly.

Practical Scrapper Carolina

This year I decided to make Christmas jammies for the whole family, but I only started sewing a month ago, so I bought WAYYYYYYY too much fabric. Enough to make not only jammies but cushion covers, banners, and now create fabric hearts for my layout (the brownish hearts are made from Santa's beard!!!).

Practical Scrapper Cathy

I picked up a box of these snowflake ornaments last year, a box of 12 for a $1.00.  They are super light weight, thin and glittery...perfect for all types of paper crafting!

Another tinsel card from Christine...she tried out just layering it at the bottom of the card.
