Snow Much Fun

I know, I know, snow in July?! I still had these photos to scrap, and they worked for a couple of challenges, so I went with it! The first challenge is this color palette challenge from The Studio:

I knew I was going to make a two page layout, but thought I would use a sketch for one of the pages. I used this one from Paper Issues:

The colors of the palette went so well with the colors of my kids' coats, I just had to find papers to go with it! I started with black cardstock and created masks with an old paper bag. I used temporary adhesive to attach them to my cardstock and then stamped and heat embossed the snowflakes. Then I took Perfect Pearls mist and sprayed that to give the paper a shimmer. I then spritzed and splatter some white spray ink. I finished off the masking with a dot stamp that I stamped in a very light pink color. I like how it made the appearance of a snow hill or the top of a heart. I then went to work with my photos and scraps in the colors of the palette. I used up so many scraps on this layout! Does anyone else get excited to use up scraps? After everything was adhered, I cut the word "snow" using my Cricut and used rub ons for the rest of my title. I finished off my layout with some stickers, chipboard pieces, a piece of washi tape, and a flair button.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my layout!
