Snow Day Cards

Do you have LOTS of scraps laying around? I most certainly do. But not any more! One of my scrapbooking goals for 2013 is to use my scraps to make cards, tags, etc. I'm no longer just making piles of scrap paper and embellishments with the hope that I'll eventually find the time to create something out of them later. I find that I never have the the time or I have so many other new papers and embellishments that I would rather create with those instead. So, after I've completed as many cards, tags, etc. from my scraps, if I have anything leftover, I package it back up and make a decision: 1) keep and put it in my stash for future use; or 2) place it in my ScrapbooksPlus yard sale pile. By using my scraps and determining if I will use the remaining leftovers I can keep my scrapbook space tidy and paired down so I always have space for newer items. So, what can you make from your scraps? Take a peek....

Hello Snow...

 I LOVE the yellow on yellow combination that can be done with this BoBunny collection!  Winter can be such a dark and dreary time of year for pictures.  To help brighten up the pictures, I like to use brightly colored Winter-themed papers.  Bobunny has done an excellent job with this line! The snowflake We R Memory Keepers Mini-Lucky 8 punch created the perfect compliment to this collection.  I also wanted my title to sparkle, much like snow does in sunlight, so I applied Glitter Ritz's Warm Highlight to "Be Creative's" double-sided sticky sheets.  I hope you are having a warm and cozy winter day!

Adorable

With help from my friend Susie Bentz, this layout came together nicely (in my humble opinion!).  I love the purples in this layout and although the purple in the picture is not an exact match, it helped me feel comfortable branching out of my box.  Have you ever had a picture where you had to find the exact paper match?  Well Im here it tell you, you can stick with the family of colors and not be exact.  Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone?

All Bundled Up

This is one of my favorite layouts of all time! What I appreciate most about BoBunny's Snow Day collection is the variety of colors offered in this line. From blue to purple, to pink and yellow this collection provides a color palette for every scrapbooker. I don't often get the chance to use purple, but I absolutely LOVE it for this winter layout! :)

Winter Wonderland Card

Im not a huge fan of doing cards.  I love pretty cards and love the finished product from others who are more creative than I am.  But I must say, I like my little card.  It doesnt have all the bells and whistles but I think its cute.  Isnt that what counts?  It melts my heart... :)

Another blast from the past -- since last year was so mild.

For this layout I used yellow as an accent color. I paired the yellow in the paper strips with old yellow Thickers and a few yellow snowflakes.  The yellow in the alphas is not exactly the same as the papers, but it still works.

Snow Buddies

 I love the combination of the fun plum and bright blue colors in this collection by Bo Bunny.  It is very different from the typical snow paper lines, more grown up in a way, but still very fun to use on a layout for kids.

I used some alphas from Basic Grey and used some white paint on the top edge to mimic snow.  These alphas are a few years old.  Basic Grey does such a great job on their lettering that I often check out what they have with each release.  Even if I don't buy the line I often buy the lettering because I know I will use it at some point. 

I love the chipboard embellishments in this collection!  These products made this layout so easy to pull together.
