Hi OA fans! Alex here today bringing you this week's challenge.
Mandy and I wanted to show you the wintry side of the Silent Night collection. This collection can work for so many different occasions other than Christmas. Winter is definitely one of them! Here is the layout I created for you.
I am usually a very slow scrapper, but this layout came together pretty fast. I have used O' Holy Night and Midnight Clear as my base. I love the Tin Pin snowflakes and I wanted more of them, so I cut huge snowflakes out of white cardstock and spread them across my page. With them in place, my background was done. I then adhered my photos and added little bits and pieces such as stickers, chip 'n sticks, brads, tidbits and doo-dats around them. I wanted to incorporate more patterns into my design, so I added the fun and pretty sew banners above my photos.
I decorated the back side of the journaling card from the doo-dats with a "snow day" sticker and used it to document this fun day. The amount of snow we got last year was insane! To the delight of our daughter, we could even dig a tunnel in our backyard!
And here is Mandy's beautiful winter fun layout:
I just love the huge photo! Here is what Mandy had to say about her project:
"When Alex mentioned we were going to do a winter fun challenge I knew that I had a bunch of photos I could use. My family has a tradition where we all get bundled up and go sledding for the day sometimes even our dogs go too. It's fun for all and we all look forward to it every year. I love that the Silent Night collection has some fabulous B-sides and embellishments that work with many occasions besides Christmas. My layout is pretty simple and came together quickly with my go to large photo along with bits & pieces of the Silent Night Collection. Thanks Alex for a great challenge!"
Thank YOU, Mandy! I adore your layout!
I hope you feel inspired to play along with us. Be sure to share your wintry projects by uploading them to OA's Flickr gallery.
Thank you so much for stopping by today!
