Hope you have your warm coats and boots out!  My projects today are going to transport you to a winter wonderland!  Just briefly so I guarantee you will survive!

Have you seen the new Mistletoe Kisses collection?  It is a perfect collection for documenting Christmas in a non-traditional color way or document fun in the snow, like I did with both of my layouts.  For my first project, the green polka dot paper was a little to bold for my snowy photos, so I white washed my trees with a little white paint.  This technique toned down the green and helped spotlight my photos.  Remember a while back when Simple Stories paired up with Just Nick?  Well, I ordered this Bare Tree  cut file.  I used it for a Halloween layout then, and now for a winter layout.   I did cut two different size trees.

The title of my layout is quite small.  I centered it on the two photos, helping to bring your eye directly there.  

Here is a closeup of the trees.  You can see the white paint.  After my layout was completely put together, I added a touch of white pearl pen where I thought the snow would fall on the trees.  

I used the pearl pen to add random snowflakes too.

This photo was after our long walk in the snow on my previous layout.  We got back and my boy collapsed to the ground.  Totally intentional and lots of fun.  Since these will be in my photo album together, I wanted to use the same collection to have them blend.  When I saw the red cursive looking stickers on the Combo Sticker sheet, I new I wanted to create a great title.  Isn't funny how both of my projects are the same collection, look nothing alike, yet still blend?  This one is definitely brighter than the first!

These trees are completely adorable!  Although they have decorations and patterns on them, they still work.  Even with a touch of PINK!  

Here is another cut file I had ordered from Just Nick a month or so back.  It is cute for fall, cut from woodgrain or as a reindeer for winter.  I just love it and will use it over and over.  He is adorable cut from stripes.

Thank you for taking a look.
