Snow Day Fun!

Ok so we're in the cold, seemingly endless, days of Winter. What better way to cheer yourself up than to get into your craft room and make a bright and fun season inspired project!

The 'Freezin' Season' paper collection by Simple Stories will definitely give you chills but in the best way! Adorable characters and wintery images in pretty pastel colors are just the cure for a snow day! This sweet zig zag mini scrapbook is just waiting to be filled with playful pictures and mementos of a winter wonderland!

I made this album using two sheets of 8.5"x11' card stock and then covered each page with the delightful and charming patterned papers of the collection. I also used lots of the paper along with journaling cards to create oodles of pockets, flaps, tags and inserts that have been decorated and embellished with the darling and colorful stickers, chipboard and Bits & Pieces!

All in all, there were nine pages to fill with this entertainingly snowy collection and I had 'snow' much fun adorning each page! Here is a closer look at the front sides of the pages:

And a closer look at the equally adorable back side pages!

Don't let Winter get you down! Grab this collection to show the coldest season just how much fun it can be!! There is a short tutorial on my YouTube channel if you want to make one of these zig zag minis of your own or just click on the video below!

Simple Thanks!

Hi everyone! It feels like an eternity since I have stamped a card! But I am back with a card for the Color Throwdown #525 and that makes me so happy!

The color scheme this week was super simple but so striking! I love the combo of black and brown and against a background of white, those colors really pop! I kept my card super simple too with just a few images.

I started by stamping the buffalo check (who doesn't love a good buffalo check?!) at the bottom of the card knowing I would layer some die cuts against it. I wet embossed the white on brown springs and hand cut them before layering them on top. 

To bring in the wood grain of the inspiration picture, I die cut the word 'Thanks' in several layers of solid brown card stock before giving it a last layer of wood patterned paper. The white in the wood grain goes great with the white embossing!
