Echo Park - Chilling With My Snowmies - Let it Snow

Hello. Karen here today with a second layout using the Chilling with my Snowmies collection from Echo Park. As I write this, snow is forecast where I live in the next few days, so it's probably appropriate that I am scrapbooking photos of a previous snowy day.

I started with a sheet of white cardstock and onto this I placed strips of patterned paper from the collection - Feeling Frosty Snowflakes, Winter Floral (B side), Colorful Snowflakes (B side) and a piece of pale blue cardstock. I cut the papers and card on the diagonal so that they would stretch diagonally across my white cardstock leaving just a narrow gap between each strip and round the edges.

I matted two 4x6 photos and a journaling card (from the sheet of multi journalling cards) onto dark blue cardstock and mounted these in a grid design onto another sheet of white cardstock which measured roughly 10" square. The square of cardstock was then matted with dark blue cardstock and placed in the centre of the layout.

Using the Silhouette Cameo I die cut my title from dark blue card, backed it with pink card and used it to fill the bottom right corner of the grid.

Then I started embellishing the layout using flowers fussy cut from the Winter Floral sheet of patterned paper.

I placed clusters of the flowers in two corners, overlapping them slightly.

In my stash I found some very old white wood veneer snowflakes and added these to the embellishment clusters.

In the bottom right corner of the layout I added the date which I had printed on the computer onto some white cardstock.

Finally, I added a few sequins and enamel dots to the embellishment clusters.

Thank you for letting me share this layout with you. Take care, and I'll be back again soon,
