Carta Bella Welcome Winter Scrapbook Layouts Part 2

Welcome to part 2 of the Carta Bella "Welcome Winter" Collection from Scrap Shotz. My first layout was so fun to make with a scarf cut file.

I backed the file with pictures and a couple different papers. The actual scarf is Bazzill "Smoky" cardstock. The skis are chipboard and the center square is a title cut from a piece of paper. The wreath and a couple stickers at the bottom are puffy stickers. The sleigh is a cardstock sticker. I wanted to use the brown letters from Doodlebug "Sunshine" (BonBon colour) but the background paper was too dark. So I covered a piece of chipboard with white paper since the saying underneath had nothing to do with my project. 

I had some twine left over so I taped pieces to the back of the scarf. It has so much more interest now. The final step was to splatter some white paint in line with the scarf tail to add some movement. 

This second layout is pretty simple but has lots of layers.

I used the Bazzill Smoky cardstock that came in the kit to border the lined paper at the bottom. The flags I made by tracing flags that came in the ephemera pack. The title was in the ephemera pack and the stickers are a variety of cardstock, chipboard and puffy stickers. I also love adding twine to a layout so I'm so glad some came with the kit. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Carta Bella Welcome Winter Scrapbook Layouts Part 1

Hello scrappy friends! I got to work with the Carta Bella "Welcome Winter" Collection this month. It is full of lots of basic background papers which I love as I always find those pages are the ones I use the most. There are also many pages with patterns and cut apart cards so this kit can easily be used for scrapbooks or cards. This kit is mainly dark and light blues, grey, brown and a forest green colour. Luckily, the weather was milder last year so I got a variety of snowy pictures to scrapbook. It's -43'C as I write this so I hope we get some warmer weather soon to get out of the house!

The first layout is like a picture-frame style. I bordered everything and used the manufacturing strips at the bottom of the pages to make a design at the bottom. 

The title is made with chipboard and twine. The ice skates are the same but one is a piece of chipboard and the other is a cardstock sticker. I used some foam behind the sticker so that it sits at the same height as the chipboard. The year was added using Doodlebug "Sunshine" stickers. I tagged the gold coloured ones but on the layout the colour is called Bon Bon. 

For my next layout, I used the December sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker Sketchy Facebook Group as inspiration. 

I layered a variety of papers and stickers and then used a cut apart card in the center. The kit came with a beautiful shiny silver paper which was a nice addition to the page. The kit also had the center snowflake embellishments from Creative Impressions which I layered together. I'm so happy I got these pictures scrapped because it was such a fun afternoon watching these two push their snowball 'baby' in the swing and on the sled. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
