Snow Much Fun Scrapbook

I mentioned last month that I made several scrapbook pages, but never shared them.

Well, they will be showing up daily on my blog for the first couple of weeks this month !

I bought an  8x8 premade scrapbook on clearance at Target quite some time ago.

I never got around to using it until this year (where does the time go? geesh), 

spending the first few days of the new year sorting through old photos. 

I knew I wanted a photo of each family member, pets included,

enjoying (or not which is the case with two of the pets!) the snow.

 I then needed to plan the layouts, knowing that I wanted to embellish the pages more. 

I easily spent the first two weeks of the new year on this project alone.

People (my husband!) always ask what do I do since I don't work from home,

assuming I sit around watching TV or playing on the computer all day.

No, not at all. In fact, I don't watch much TV nor do I spend hours

on the computer...... unless I am doing digital scrapbooking, photos or blogging ;) 

I make something every single day and those things take time.

Most people don't realize how long it can take to make a card for example,

not to mention the time to clean up afterwards.

Anyway................ enough rambling.

Here are before and after photos of two of the twenty 

snow themed scrapbook pages I made last month.

First up, the cover

This is a closeup of the insert I made for the cover.

I was originally going to make a digital project

and print it out. It would have been less time consuming. 

I ended up stamping, coloring, adding die cut letters,

layers and glittery accents to the cover piece. 

The first and last pages were identical,

with a die cut border at the top.

I flipped them sideways and added 

a few extras.

 die cut numbers

metallic silver mat with a punched border

hand punched and pierced tag

silver snowflake with brad

 I used embossing folders and some ink

plus a scrap of ribbon to make an element for this page.

Thanks for looking, have a great day !
