WONDERLAND

Hi there! I wanted to take a moment to thank all who visit my blog and who take the time to leave sweet comments over the past year! It means so much to me and is greatly appreciated. I hope I am able to inspire you throughout 2015.

It's been cold and raining here in Phoenix on and off all day which made for the perfect weather to create! I scrapped a layout featuring a photo of Scott, Connor, Meredith and myself that was taken years ago while we were on a ski vacation.

To create this page, I applied a light coat of Gesso to a pretty piece of patterned paper from the Tim Holtz Wallflower collection. Once dry, I adhered a variety of die cuts that were made using the following Sizzix Tim Holtz dies: Courtyard Frameworks, Snowflake and Stacked Snowflakes:

I added lots of color using the following Tim Holtz products: tumbled glass Spray Stain, salty ocean and broken china Distress Stains:

 For the title, I applied a Tim Holtz rub on:

 For a few final touches, I applied Gesso along with the Tim Holtz Bubble stencil:

and randomly splattered Gesso:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Let's Scrap Sketches sketch challenge. I combined the sketches to make a one page layout. I'm also entering this layout in the current A Vintage Journey challenge where the challenge is to create a project inspired by a poem shared on their blog ~ I was inspired to create a winter wonderland layout featuring lots of snowflakes. I'm also joining along with the Let's Get Sketchy sketch challenge where the challenge is to create a monochromatic sketch:

Many thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you have a safe, healthy and Happy New Year!
Be Sweet ;)
