Snowstorm

Hi there!

I hate to even think about SNOW right now, especially since it's so nice out!

But I do have some really cool photos on this layout to share with you.

Let's Scrap http://letsscrap.ning.com/ had a Scoring and Folding Challenge.  This was so FUN!!

I got to do all sorts of cool things with papers.

I chose the sketch below from the Let's Scrap gallery (4-25-12)

And this is my layout:

We get a lot of snow each year.  This particular snowstorm hit us with about three

feet of snow!  Poor Andrew, he snowblowed just about all day long!

I think he deserved a break to play with Zoe and throw some

snowballs for her.

Supplies used:

Paper: Momenta, DCWV

Martha Stewart Scoring Board

Iridescent Snowflakes

Magic Mesh

Netting

EK Success Circle Punch

Scalloped Edge Decorative Cardstock (traced and hand cut border)

Stretchy Cording

Metal Letters: Karen Foster Metals

Sharpie Marker (for journaling)

Sanding Block

Here's a couple closeups of the paper "flowers" and how I used these

cute little snowflakes for the centers.

These cute letters came from deep within my stash and thought they fit in well

with this layout. 

I strung stretchy cording through each letter (over and under style), which made

the letters slant different ways and really brought some interest to the layout.

which came out so pretty!

This was a bit harder to score and fold, as the cardstock was really thick.  But in the end,

the flower came out so cool! 

I decided to hide my journaling.  I used Magic Mesh under the journaling folder and netting.  I used a smaller

piece of paper to wrap around the front of the folder, utilizing the patterned paper to it's full potential.

 I used half of the circle cut with the circle punch and also added a "half" flower in the corner and finished everything off by adding a few snowflakes randomly. 

Here's a look at my journaling.

Have a wonderful day!
