Happy Winter!

My first January layout for ScrapGal.

I am by no means a winter person. And on top of that, last winter was pretty brutal here weather wise. but there were definitely fun moments. These photos were taken on a snow day when we had a play date in the park across the street from our home with friends and neighbors. I also have a 12x12 page divided protector from We R Memory Keepers that holds more photos of that day with our friends that will sit right next to this page in the album.
The main product I used was from the Snow Day line by Crate Paper found here.

I started with this paper as my base and then added pieces of these phrase and journal spot stickers...

using Happy Winter as my title on the photo block.

I also handcut snowflakes from this paper and added throughout as embellishments with button and twine.
To embellish the top right and bottom left corners, I cut a few strips from this paper...

because I liked the stitched effect. And I also used these border stickers...

Just the blue for this layout. I used several others for another :)
I also used some American Crafts washi tape (it's the little things) and Studio Calico white mist.
Although funny story - I wanted white all along and accidentally grabbed my Mister Huey Shine mist instead. They look so similar. As I was using it, I realized it didn't have the effect I wanted. Then it hit me that it was the shine. I was still able to use the white though and the shine didn't really hurt it :)

So far I really can't complain about this winter though. One snow "storm" so far with lots of mild temperatures and more sunshine than usual. How is your weather so far this winter?
