Layouts for a change

On Saturday passed I spent the day with some truly inspiring scrapbooking friends. I went to a church in Tottenham, Ontario to an all day crop. I thought it would be a good opportunity to catch up on some layouts. I ended up doing these 2 and gabbing the rest of the day. The first layout was inspired by a magazine cover that had a little girl blowing snow off her hand. I begged my little one to dress up and do it with me. We found out quite quickly that snow doesn't blow. We realized that on the magazine they must have used fake snow for the picture. While she kept trying to blow the snow she was getting too close to her hand and eventually her mouth hit the snow. The picture on the right is her trying to spit the snow out. I decided that she had been Snow Kissed.
The bottom layout was one of those very rare occassions that my oldest daughter and middle son were getting along. They decided to build a gingerbread house together. At first my son was mad at me for taking pictures, but then he started having fun with it. So I figured it was the Magic of Winter causing them to work together. A card will come later, just wanted to share with you some of my other work.

Just Enough

Here is my version of the cover page of the Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine.

Snow Tired

This is Sarah's first snow outing.

This was a light contest entry that I entered in a local scrapbooking store. I didn't win, but the winners were amazing. Just wanted to share my entry. I used my Cricut Expression Storybook cartridge to make the swirls. To make the lights I found pictures of my kids that would fit, cut the pictures to size and glued them on. I then used liquid glass to cover the pictures to make it look like the kids pictures were in the light bulbs. When that dried I embossed the end of the lights with silver to add a realistic look. I used Nicole Heady's Papertrey Snowman Stamp, and finally used Metalic paper for the trees cutting them out with the Revolution 12" Boarder Die. I added snow here and there with Close To My Heart Liquid Applique.

This is the layout I did that won a contest in Bolton Ontario with the prize being published in the Winter edition of The Canadian Scrapbooker's Magazine, on page 25.
