Geralyn says “I’m sharing a winter layout I made using lots of beautiful Elle’s Studio products.   We rarely get snow around here, so I knew I wanted to document a rare snow day using a variety of of the new tags and embellishments.  I think the stamps are my fave though!

I got the sketch to work with and it provided a great starting point for my layout.  I decided to focus on the grid design in the middle of the sketch and stuck quite closely to the design.

The kraft tag is actually is actually a cut file included in the Holiday Tags set, and I stamped some snowflakes around my layout using the exclusive Warmest Wishes stamps.  They created a visual triangle and added a more whimsical look to the layout. ”

Juliana also worked with this sketch!  She shares, “I always love a good sketch. They help me get the jump start on the creative process and for this layout, I was able to complete it in about an hour (which is fast for me!).

When I first looked at the sketch, I immediately thought about using some of the 3×4 cards in the Good Cheer collection to create my page.  I used several of them as well as one 4×6 card.  Joy_Christmas_Dog_Scrapbook_Page_Juliana_Michaels_Elles_Studio_Celebrate_December_04

The shaker pocket was created using the transparency that comes in the Christmas Ephemera Kit.  I stitched up the bottom and sides, added some gold star sequins and then stitched the top closed.  I have a wonderful layout to remember our first Christmas with Milo!
