Wonderland Scrapbook Layout

It's winter time and the Wonderland paper pack is perfect for those winter photos. I love how the blues in this paper pack went well with my outdoor photos at Stone Zoo last month. In the first layout I used our Foundry Clips and Clear Sparkles as embellishments. I changed the layout to use our 4x6 Flip flaps (love these!). I was able to add 4 more photos to my layout! 

Layout 1

Layout 1 - Right Side with Flip Flaps Open

The 2nd layout I used our Top Coats Icing Overlays for the cute snowflakes. The snowflakes are clear so I used mini-glue dots to adhere the overlays. All we need now is some snow for me to complete this layout!

Layout 2

Believe Scrapbook Workshop

I just love how my Christmas Photos from last year went with the Believe paper pack! I couldn't wait to scrap these photos. For the first layout, I changed it up a little bit to include our 4x6 flip flaps. So instead of just having 2 photos on the left page, I used 2 flip flaps to expand it to have 6 photos! How cool is that? I love that I could instantly just add more photos to my layout!

I will be teaching this workshop at my home on Thursday, January 5th at 7:00pm. If you are interested in attending, you must RSVP by December 15.

Here are some close-ups of the layouts.
