Timbergrove Layout - Fancy Pants

Hello blogging friends. I feel like its been forever since I did a layout. I saw the Fancy Pants Timbergrove collection at my local Archivers before Christmas and had to have it! I love the colors and the fun embellishments that coordinate. I did this on New Years Eve (since my hubby had to work) and I finally got a chance to photograph it.


So let me tell you about this snowman. I built him in our driveway, right where my hubby parks his car. We had a really late snowstorm last April and the snow shovel was already packed away in the back of the shed. What's a girl to do when she can't shovel snow? He is even wearing my husbands hat, lol. It sure put a smile on my hubby's face when he came home. I journaled on a card I stuck inside the paper pocket...


I used the Winter Wonderland chipboard title from Creative Embellishments. Isn't it fabulous!! I painted it blue then added some white paint to look like snow on top of the letters. Then I glued some snow flocking powder on. Behind the title, I created a snowbank from box board that I painted white and added texture with some molding paste. Then I used some shabby blue frontage embossing powder for some glitter effects.
Creative Embellishments has a monthly challenge and lots of Facebook giveaways. Go check them out.
                                                       

I am linking up with Scrap Africa. I used their latest sketch ...


Temps are dropping here. I think staying inside and crafting all weekend is called for :)
Have a great weekend!
