Snow Layout

We have had snow here in American Fork, UT every day for the past 6 days. It's been crazy, but so beautiful. I thought in honor of all of this snow, it would be a good time to share this little layout I whipped up of our grandson, Street, out playing in it.  This layout was based on a design from my friend, Beckie Lehman. I love it! Beautiful design, Beckie!

You might look at this layout and think it took a whole lot of paper packs. If you thought that,  you were wrong. YAY! Here's a case where being wrong was a GOOD thing.  This layout has White Daisy Cardstock and the Adventure Fundamentals Paper Pack, and that's the only paper I used! COOL BEANS!  Our Fundamentals paper packs have many colors and designs in each pack.

Adventure Fundamentals Paper Pack

I think you're going to be surprised how few products were used to create this gorgeous 2-page spread. The Good Life Fundamental Complements Collection that I used for almost all of the accents is full of brightly colored stickers and glittery chipboard accents that look just perfect with the Adventure Fundamentals papers. The only other accents I used on these pages are Gold Shimmer Trim and Gold Sequins.

Good Life Complements Collection

Here are a few close ups of some of the details on this layout:

Don't you just love all of the sparkly accents? I think they are perfect with the white, sparkly snow. I love how the bright green picks up the cuff of Streets coat, the bright blue picks up his hat, and the orange is just a fun accent to pull it all together. There are such fun, bright colors in the Adventure color palette.

October Specials with Close To My Heart

I think it was one of my favorite characters, Anne of Green Gables, who said, "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers!"  I agree with Anne, and I think you will too, once you hear and see all about the October specials with Close To My Heart.

1.  Real Rewards
2.  October Stamp of the Month - Yuletide Joy
------------------

1.  Real Rewards:

During the month of October, hostesses have another fantastic option for using their Hostess Rewards credit—they can apply it toward a New Consultant Kit! When your Gathering reaches $250 in sales, not only will you get 50% off a product of your choice, but you can also choose to use your $40 in Hostess Rewards credit to get a discounted New Consultant Kit! With higher Gathering totals, you can save even more (or even earn it FREE!)!

What is a gathering, you may ask? Well, that can be one of two things...it can be a traditional gathering where you invite your friends and I come and teach a little bit about papercrafting and they make a hands-on project and place orders, OR you can just share our products and collect orders instead of doing an in-person event. Either way works!  We even have a way to set it up online for you so even your long-distance friends can just go in and place an order.  Easy, peasy!

2.  October Stamp of the Month (Yuletide Joy):  October is a perfect time to get a jump on Christmas cards and tags, and maybe even layouts that are ready for you to just plop your photos on after Christmas.  This set will help you with all of those needs.  I'll be sharing artwork throughout the month with this set, mostly on Mondays so be sure to check back for ideas.  The layout you see at the top of the post is a great example of what this set can do.

This set is only available in October, and is only $5 ($12.95 savings) with every $50 you order (before shipping and tax). Spend $100, get 2...and so on.  When ordering on my website, you'll be prompted to add your set(s) before checking out.

January Play Group Scrappin' Class Layouts (Snowhaven)

Is it cold where you are?  Here in Utah it certainly is.  Baby, it's cold outside!  I remember the days as a child when I was so excited when it snowed and I could bundle up and head outside to build a snowman, make snow angels, and have a good, old-fashioned snowball fight.  Now, I admit, the only things that gives me a ton of joy when it snows are:  1.  If I can watch our grandkids experience the childlike joy of snow, 2.  If I can stay inside our warm home and observe the beauty of the soft, downy flakes from where I'm warm and cozy, and 3. if it's Christmas time.  I guess I'm just a big, huge snow bah humbug.  That said, I do LOVE snow pictures. I love how the people stand out against the clean, pristine white snowy background.  Being the scrapbook fanatic that I am, I might be apt to go outside and ACT like I love the snow just for the photos. lol.

With snow (and all of the positives about it...ha!) in mind, here are the layouts we will be making in my January Play Group Scrappin' Classes using Scandinavian themed Snowhaven papers from Close To My Heart.
