Carta Bella Welcome Winter Layouts Part 1

Hello scrappy friends! I got to work with the Carta Bella "Welcome Winter" Collection this month. It is full of lots of basic background papers which I love as I always find those pages are the ones I use the most. There are also many pages with patterns and cut apart cards so this kit can easily be used for scrapbooks or cards. This kit is mainly dark and light blues, grey, brown and a forest green colour. Luckily, the weather was milder last year so I got a variety of snowy pictures to scrapbook. It's -43'C as I write this so I hope we get some warmer weather soon to get out of the house!

The first layout is like a picture-frame style. I bordered everything and used the manufacturing strips at the bottom of the pages to make a design at the bottom. 

The title is made with chipboard and twine. The ice skates are the same but one is a piece of chipboard and the other is a cardstock sticker. I used some foam behind the sticker so that it sits at the same height as the chipboard. The year was added using Doodlebug "Sunshine" stickers. I tagged the gold coloured ones but on the layout the colour is called Bon Bon. 

For my next layout, I used the December sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker Sketchy Facebook Group as inspiration. 


I layered a variety of papers and stickers and then used a cut apart card in the center. The kit came with a beautiful shiny silver paper which was a nice addition to the page. The kit also had the center snowflake embellishments from Creative Impressions which I layered together. I'm so happy I got these pictures scrapped because it was such a fun afternoon watching these two push their snowball 'baby' in the swing and on the sled. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
