Remember This Winter Day and Believe

One great thing about being on the design team for Artful Delight is Leeanne the owner puts together a great kit!  Her December kit is filled with Echo Park's Wintertime collection!  I love this collection and the warm winter colors.

The December kit is packed full of wonderful embellishments including banners, chipboard, brads, flowers and red stickles.   Take a look at this:

If you are interested in purchasing the kit, you better hurry as there are only a few left!  There is a new sketch challenge over at Artful Delight  and the sketch was designed by me. Create a layout or card based on the sketch for a chance to win the January kit.  You can check  it out here.

Now on to the details about my layout.  I couldn't resist using this picture of my son, only 3 years old at that time with his dad, after he had built his "Frosty"!  I altered the picture in Photoshop, changing it to black and white and then colorizing Jeffrey and his dad and snowman.

Here are some closeups of my layout:

I actually recycled the cover sheet in the Echo Park Wintertime collection and punched out the little squares using the cover sheet.  I couldn't resist passing it up!

I hand stitched a border around my red cut out using some brown embroidery floss.

Everything I used on my layout is part of Artful Delight's  December kit with the exception of the snowflake which I punched with a Martha Stewart punch!

Be sure to head on over to Artful Delight and check out all the details on the kit and sketch challenge.
