Snowboarding & Sketch n Scrap Sketch #46

Today's Layout is based on this month's first Sketch and Scrap scrapbook layout sketch.

I continued the layout from yesterday of my son's 11th birthday at Perfect North Slopes skiing and snowboarding.  He had a blast and we have done it again since.  So I have used the same paper and diecuts including the CTMH cricut cut of arrow from the  Artbooking cart with coordinating stamp and Creative Memories snowflake punches.  I didn't have four photos and I trimmed them down as much as I could, so my layout has three pictures but they are still in a stepping stone pattern. To this one I added American craft orange baker's twine.  The orange and black paper as well as the sticker letters are Creative Memories.   

 

I am entering this in the following challenge:

Let it Snow Blog Hop!

Welcome! to the Let it Snow Blog Hop!  What a day, if you are like most of the country you probably are having a snowy day!  Here in Cincinnati, we have our first big snow of the year!  Perfect weekend for this hop!  You should have arrived here from Aisha's http://londonskyedesigns.net.  If not, go back to Lisa's http://honeybearzdesigns2011.blogspot.com/ and start from the beginning.  If you get lost, I have listed the entire lineup at the bottom of the post.

For today's blog hop I created a snowy layout based on the Boy Meets Girl Sketch for December.  I used some snowboard paper and matching diecuts I purchased at Tuesday Morning, it has Carol Wilson Fine Arts printed on the back.  I then layered white cardstock and my pictures.  I used the CTMH Artbooking Cricut cart to cut the arrows out of Creative Memories orange paper and used the matching CTMH stamp and Gem black pigment ink square.  I also used CM punches and some random printed blue paper to punch out a couple of different snowflakes and CM sticker letters for the title.  I layered Mandarin and Ebony sassy font.   Finally, I inked everything with a very thin line of black, not my usual grungy edging.

This is outside my door last night after just about 3 or 4 hours of snow.  We should have about 5 inches this morning!

Here's my layout for today ...

I received the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut Cartridge last month and could not wait to use it!  I thought the tree overlay was a great place to start.  I used Creative Memories Brick cardstock and The Paper Company turquoise and yellow shimmer.  The photo is matted with CM brown cardstock. Buttons laced with floss.

I used Doodlebug Designs sticker title.

The tree sticker is an old Mrs. Grossman's that I have been hoarding because I loved it so much.  The leaves seem to match the die cut.
