We have some absolutely beautiful scrapbook projects for you to see today!!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this kit! The pinks and blues make these papers so magical! 

Here's what I've done with the kit, so far:

First, I started with our fabulous December sketch by Beggahuna!

How beautiful is that? Here's my take on it:

I started with using the stencil and snowflake paste that came in the mediums add on on the left and bottom of the paper, then distressed the edges and inked them with two pink distress inks. In this closeup, you can see the snowflake paste- it's gorgeous! AND, look at that little snow fairy! I purchased that from Angelica's etsy shop. I also used some pink glitter alphas from my stash from the title. 

Instead of adding pictures in the squares in the sketch, I decided to just use those for layers. I also used the snowflake dies from the die add on under the squares and added pink pearls from the embellishment add on.  Then, I cut out an ornament from one of the papers to use a photo mat over the squares. 

The circles that look white are actually little mirrors from the kit. They are very difficult to photograph, but well worth putting on, and they look amazing in real life!

I finished off the layout by adding some tiny snowflake stamping with pink chalk ink, then splatted some diluted gesso over it.

Next, I made this layout:

I went with a more classic looking design for this picture, and I really love how the Blue Fern Studios winter dangles chipboard pieces look. I did lots to them!

First, I painted them with gesso, and each dangle got it's own unique treatment. There are a few different shades of blue on these papers and also the flowers, so I used a few different blue products. 

I used blue chalk ink  to accent the heart and bows. The star was painted with the dimensional paint from the main kit. Both of these were then painted with clear Gimmer Glam for an extreme glittery look. 

I used distress ink on the snowflake. All of the dangles have pearl accents from the main kit also. 

And, next I have these hanging ornaments I made from this month's project add on:

There are many more details in my video tutorial that you can see here:
