Your First Snowman in the US

My boys have been home for a while from Russia, and I continue to scrap some of our early experiences as a family.   These photos were taken just five weeks after joining our family.

I created a layout for each of the boys’ scrapbooks, and they are exact duplicates.   I started with a dark blue card stock base and used a Martha Stewart edge punch to make a snowflake border, which is layered on white card stock.  I added a paper ribbon from Little Black Dress Designs between the blue card stock and the snowflake paper.  The snowflake paper is from my stash. 

The Snowman is a Sizzix die, Snowman Two and is die cut in a variety of papers.  I used black brads for the buttons.  The snowflakes are a mix of McGill punches and Spellbinders Create a Flake Three.  They are die cut from white and blue vellum, and are pressure embossed.   The title is a  Quickutz font, Ginger die cut from white card stock.

This was a special day for the boys, and deserved a special layout to celebrate the joy of the day.

This layout is entered into the following challenges:
