SNOW -Irresistible



Oh its Fridayyyyy and that means another reveal at SOUS..woo hoo.. I absolutely LOVED this weeks sketch challenge.. I pretty much knew exactly what I was going to make and here it is.. I created and paper pieced the snowmen.. I think they are about the cutest lil things...
The photo is of my daughter Amber and I love how it looks like she is sneaking a peek though the layout.. I printed the photo myself on my printer, which isn't exactly high quality..


Here are some close ups and all of the details on the making of this layout..



 Here is a close up of the big snowman, He is just about the cutest.. I had a lot of fun designing him and putting him together.. I used some facial stamps by "Peachy Keen Stamps" for the eyes..
 
 The two smaller snowmen..



 Here is the left side with the stars and hearts.



 and then the right side with the snowflakes.




Finally the title.. I used the foundation cut from the "Opposites Attract!" cart and then added the title font.

Supplies Used:

Cricut cart: George and Basic Shapes
base foundation, hollow circle, large heart and ovals (snowmen)

Cricut cart: Plantin Schoolbook
Hearts, stars and "SNOW"

Cricut cart: Winter Woodland
Snow flakes, small hat, branches, scarf and mittens

Cricut cart: Home Decor
Scalloped circle and swirls

Cricut cart: Opposites Attract
Title foundation and "IRRESISTABLE"

Cricut cart: Pooh and Friends
Carrots

Papers:  Graphic 45
and My Minds Eye "Holiday Avenue" (hearts)

cardstock: cream, blue, brown  and yellow

Tim Holtz distress ink: Antique Linen
and Walnut Stain

Chalks: light grey, tan, orange, blue and pink

Zig two way glue pen

"Peachy Keen Stamps" Eyes
Stá-z-on stamp pad-black

Pop dots

Well, I think that about covers it..Hopefully I didn't leave anything out..
I sincerely hope you all get a chance of stopping off at SOUS this week and checking out the other designers and maybe even join in on the this weeks sketch.. I think its a good one..
Thank you all so much for looking

  4. Wonderful layout Nanne, the snowmen are adorable, you are so clever. I was hoping you had cut them directly from a cart, so I could copy, but you are way too talented for that. The detail you have added to them, and the entire layout is amazing

    I love your work and have copied many of your layouts. Our kids are in the same age group and you have given me some great ideas. I love the fact that you tell us where each item comes from and was wondering if you can give us approximate sizes that you use on your cricut items.

  13. I would absolutely love to share the cut sizes, but since I used my Design studio software, I usually stretch and widen everything by hand, and not by size...so sorry about that...
