Frozen Heather--Icy

Frozen Heather is a color combination posted as a challenge on Color Me Scrappy! I think they are great colors to use on any of your "icy" layouts! I was recently in Sioux Falls, SD for work, and I visited the Falls Park and snapped some photos of the falls frozen over. This picture looks as icy as it felt! It was in the -20 degree range with the wind factor for most of the week. Luckily, this Las Vegas girl won't need to go back there until the spring! I don't think I will complain about the 30's as our winter lows for a while.

Here's my result:

If you look to the right side of the layout, you will see a light blue spray mist/masking pattern. I used a laser cut paper from Studio Calico as a mask. I love the subtle icy hue. The paper is orange, a color that I rarely use on layouts, so I'm glad I found a great use for it!

I didn't take a close up of the "C" in the title, but I thought it was funny. The printed map on the letter shows "Dakota"!

Resort Pictures

The grounds of some of the resorts where we vacation are just absolutely gorgeous! I have a hard time scrapbooking them though. I think I found a solution! Keep it simple! I did this basic layout with a little bit of embellishing for fun. The color scheme was prompted by Color Me Scrappy--seashell colors!

 

Thanks for looking! I really like this patterned paper by Hot Off the Press. The background is a map, perfect for vacations!

Covering Chipboard

This week's challenge on Creative Scrappers has a sketch with three stars and a large circle element. I had a baseball themed kit from Best Creations including bare chipboard stars. It was the perfect opportunity to cover the stars with patterned paper! On my layout for this challenge, I used 6 papers from the same kit! Really surprised myself, but they are so coordinated, it was easy!

 Here's a close-up of the bare chipboard covered, sanded, and inked:

Here's my super easy sticker title and journaling written on chipboard element:

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you'll try covering bare chipboard with paper, too!
