First Snow

First Snow

Season’s Greetings friends! Rebecca Larson here to share with you a fun new holiday SN@P! Set that has recenetly been added to the digital shop! I was looking for a color pallet that could coordinate well with some black and white photos that I took of my daughter enjoying her first snowfall. We recenlty adopted her from the Philippines! Although this beautiful country is known to have the longest celebrated holiday season in the world, due to their island climate they lack the white stuff. So I was counting the minutes until I could introduce her to snow! Anyway, I was wanting some elements that were winter themed with a little mix of the Christmas holiday to highlight my photo. I found what I was looking for in the Tis the Season digital SN@P! SetAlthough the green and red are very much prominent in this kit, the aqua and gray can make any picture pop off the page!

I was first drawn to the cute snowman and snowflakes, and built the layout around that. I love the nontraditional holiday gray used here, and decided to also make the gray 4x6 snowflake cards a noteworthy part of my design.  

Using a crisp white sheet of paper (found at little dreamer.co) from my stash for contrast, I continued to build my layout with the 4x6 and 3x4 cards as background frames (drawing the polkadots from my daughter's jacket, to the matching polkadot 4x6 cards). It gives the right amount of color and whimsical pop! I love the alphas in this set, they give the reader an instant draw to my title.

I finished off my layout with using some of the adorable elements in this pack! The hearts and arrows were my favorite to highlight the main photo (isn’t it the cutest??) I added a small text box in the corner, and some drop shadows to give it some dimension, and uploaded it to my favorite print shop! Cant wait to add it to my book of stories! Thanks for stopping by!
