Winter Baby

Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd   - WINTER BABY -

Hi there!


Hope you are all doing well.  It is theme week over at Scrapbook Nerd, and this month all our creations are inspired by this mood board created by Joy:

All the colour and textures made me think of snow and winter, so I pulled a picture of my nephew, Echo Park's A Perfect Winter collection , and a Paige Evans' cut file Design ID #233761 ( I know it says faux flower in the design, but i see stars/snowflakes) to create this page.

I started by backing the cut file on a piece of paper from one of the Simple Stories pads, and then started lightly folding some of the edges of the cut file as to form stars.   My choice was to somehow recreate a snowfall on the picture.

I used some of the papers from the collection to back the picture, and then layered embellishments in clusters at the corners of the picture.

To complete the visual triangle in the page, a small cluster was added to the top of the corner of the page, and used the space below to add the journal lines.

For the title, I pulled some of  the chipboard stickers, and added some alphas from  Fancy Pant's Millie and June collection.   A few extra snowflakes, and some gold ink complete the page:

I love the whiteness and texture of  the page.   Remember to check Scrapbook Nerd for all the materials used in this post, and also join us for this month's challenge on the Scrapbook Nerd Friends Facebook page _ it is based on this mood board, and the winner will take a GC to the store_

Let me know if you have any questions, I am always around to answer them!


Take care!

Hi there!

It is the first of the month, which means it is time for a new free cut file at Scrapbook Nerd.  This time, i got to design the cut file, "Winter Joy", and i was inspired by the upcoming Holiday season.    The cut file comes with the background as seen on the page, and individual shapes so you can create your own project.

I started by cutting the background out of white cardstock, and used foam adhesive to attach it to the background - a paper from the Winter wonderland collection from Simple Stories-.

To bring the festive colors of the season, I used the "Oh What Fun" collection and embellishments from My Mind's Eye.

I added small clusters of embellishments from the collection to frame the picture, and then to decorate the page.  Here is the final layout:

I just love the soft snowflakes as a background for the picture of my niece.   I hope this serves as inspiration for your holiday crafts.   Remember to stop by Scrapbook Nerd store to pick up your free copy of the cut file - just click here to be redirected to the store-.

Take care guys, see you all soon!!!
