A Card a Day in December--Day #26

I hope everyone had an amazing holiday and is enjoying all of their new gifts that Santa brought! Today I want to share a winter scrapbook page with you. I know NOT A CARD, but I figured we will all have winter photos that we want to save so hopefully this page provides you with some inspiration!

This double page layout is on a base of Pool Party 12x12 and is accentuated with colors found in the Snowflake Splendour Suite. I LOVE this designer series paper and how many different tones of blue and purple there are to work with.

I added two different 3 x 12 strips of the DSP to each page to bring in some of these colors so that I could in embellishments in a variety of colors.

I used the So Many Snowflake, Peony and Beautiful Bows dies on these two pages.

Winter and Wishes are cut using the Playful Alphabet dies with the Foam Adhesive sheets and the Well Written dies.

“In the Coldest Moments…” is stamped in Pacific Point ink on Whisper White and is punched with a 2 1/2 circle punch. The Stitched Circles were perfect to cut a layering piece out of another selection of DSP. In between I added some In Color ribbon and Playing with Patterns ribbon.

Adding some Highland Heather snowflakes along with boughs cut in Whisper White were perfect.

You will notice there are a bunch of snowflakes stamped in the backround.

Here is fun tip: Place all of your desired stamps onto one of our larger blocks. I used the E block for this. Then you can stamp a bunch of images at one time and slightly rotate the block each time so they look different.

The second page of my layout has many of the same elements but in a vertical presentation instead. Not only does this allow for a photo going in a different direction (consider that most selfies are this orientation) it allows for a different look while feeling unified.

The sentiment on this page is from the Snowman Season stamp set. A returning favorite from last holiday! It is cut with a Stitched Circle and the DSP behind it is cut with a punch. A reversal from what you found on the other page.

Once again I added in Highland Heather snowflakes and a border with the Peony die in Misty Moonlight.

Both pages have some Blue Backed Gems and Rhinestones. The sentiment on this page also has some Pool Party Sheer ribbon behind it to mimic the other page.

I really love how these two pages turned out. I hope you will try your hand at some memory keeping if it is not something you already do! If you live in Canada please feel free to SHOP by online store direct to Stampin’ Up! Thank you in advance!
