Baby, It's Cold Outside

Coincidentally, while we were enjoying the gorgeous Christmas Day snowfall yesterday, I was digging into my stash for this layout about our unusually cold December.  After my parents had gone home and the dishes were done (finally!), I got in some scrapping time.  Two unexpected treats for the holiday!

Project Notes:

• The layout is based on Artfuldelight's monthly challenge
  ( December Sketch Challenge at Artfuldelight.blogspot.com ).  For the shaped background, I did two Cricut cuts.  The second one in the lighter teal accidentally came out the same size as the first so I decreased the size and moved the cutting blade in and down just a tad - maybe a quarter of an inch - and cut again.  I got a perfect frame!  Just lucky on that one.
• Rhinestones in the center of snowflakes add a special zing.
• Also, vellum seems to really go with snow/cold themes, too.

Now that I have dozens of wonderful Christmas snow photos, I'll have to do another snowy layout for my very first white Christmas!

Thanks for visiting today.  Enjoy your holiday week.
