Winter Textures

We had a beautiful snow last month.

I got a lot of great shots in when we took a walk on the trails near our home.

Here are some great ones of snow on the greenery.

This set and more are available in my Etsy shop

Anything Goes January Challenge

This month over at Scraptastical Kreations, they are doing an Anything Goes challenge.

The project is your choice, you just have to include one of their patterns in your project!

I have been working on Valentine's projects today, so I browsed through

the Scraptastical Kreations patterns that I had.

I settled on a flower from there "Garden Splendor" collection.

I chose this flower because the petals looked like hearts!

I started out with an ATC card that I covered in pink heart patterned scrapbook paper.

Then I (hand) cut the flower from "Garden Splendor".

I did one layer in hot pink cardstock and the second layer in

scrapbook paper with the sentiment "I love you".

I adhered pink ribbon with pink hearts running vertically on the ATC card.

I then used 3D dots to adhere the flower with dimension.

I then attached a pink rhinestone heart to the center of the card.

I covered the card a different pink heart patterned scrapbook paper.

I adhered pink glitter table horizontally on the card.

I then glued the ATC card onto another piece of the "I love you"

sentiment paper and then glued it onto the card.

I used pink chipboard stickers to decorate the corners.

Dry Erase Menu

So many tutorials lately have included using picture frames as different types of dry erase boards.

We have been trying to create a weekly menu so that we can eat healthier

and do better with our grocery budget.

I love to scrapbook and thought it would be really neat to create a dry erase menu

from a 12x12 picture frame with a different background for every month.

For January I kept with a winter theme.

The background is vintage sleigh paper in blues, browns, and tans.

I then decorated with a pretty blue paper and dark brown paper.

Pretty white winter ribbon was used along with blue sequins ribbon.

The cute little mice are a rub on sticker.

The title is made using metallic letter stickers.

This is now hanging in our kitchen!

My goal is to create a different background for every month!

And to utilize the menu to its full potential of course!!
