Just as we thought spring was on its way in the UK we got hit with winter and lots of snow. I chose this theme and my photos of my son, hubby and the dogs as we enjoyed the snow. As you can see the dogs had a fabulous time.
My layout was inspired by the Let's Get Sketchy challenge blog and their sketch
My background paper was one that I had in my stash - I've added some DSP from Stampin Up and some stamps from Project Life Remember This. The snowflakes have been cut out with the Seasonal Thinlets.
A timely card theme over at Addicted to CAS this week with their theme of Graduation although for the UK this really comes more into effect in late summer but we can always be prepared.
I have done a Graduation card previously which was for my son last year which made it more of a Cap style card.
but I wanted to try another style for the CAS challenge. There is a tutorial in my tutorial page above for this style of card.
For the Challenge, I kept to a black and white scheme and used the Stitched Framelits for the Mortar Cap. I used the Falling Petals Embossing Folder, sadly retiring, but I'm keeping hold of mine. The wording actually comes from a retired Project Life set Remember This. Another set I'm keeping hold of because the sentiments in it are wonderful, not just for scrapbooking. I added a touch of our White Organza ribbon - shh don't tell I cut the organza bits off (!) and added a Metal Rimmed Pearl for the middle.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog. I love to hear from fellow crafters.
HAPPY CRAFTING
