When I think of winter I think of warm and cozy blankets, colorful hats and scarves, and snow-covered landscapes. However, here in eastern Virginia, we don't always get snow. What we do always see are the winter skies (after leaves have fallen to the ground) and beautiful frost covered grass and shrubbery.
Whatever winter looks like for you, I hope it includes fun activities with family and friends and many many smiles!
Take a look at the layouts two of our design team members, Jodi and Paije, shared this week and don't miss the great article links for even more
wonderful winter inspiration.
There's nothing better for a winter layout than the classic snowflake. Incorporate multiple snowflakes and vary their styles to infuse a wealth of wintry charm into your layout.
Jodi inspired us with this skiing layout where she added five 2x2 snowflakes across the
center of her page. She used the three different snowflake designs from the Snowflake Trio Die set. Most of her die cuts were made with various blue and green hues. To create contrast, the center white snowflake stands out over a dark blue background. Jodi placed a gem in the center of each one to add some sparkle.
Try creating an interesting selection of snowflakes on your next winter layout.
Winter photos may seem drab and cold, but when placed in a scrapbook layout they warm your heart.…
Use a Die to Emphasize the Scenery of Your Photos
"Views of Bryce Canyon" by Paije Potter - Pattern #636
The Forest Borders Die with its fir tree shapes is the perfect complement to these wintry Bryce Canyon photos.
Paije used the 1x3 & 1x4 border dies from the set to emphasize the beautiful landscape of the famous canyon. She
added even more interest to the green trees by placing a rustic snowflake pattern paper behind the die cuts for the background. For her largest photos, she added a couple pieces of pattern paper behind each picture that matches the 2x2 center design spot of the page. This little detail gives her important photos more emphasis and ties in the second fir branches pattern paper.
All of these small design choices pulled together a winter layout that you can recreate for yourself with your chilly winter photos.
