Hiya scrappy peeps! Suzanna here today to share with you a full sized photo, winter layout that is actually part of a series I have been working on. This is part 3 of a 4 part series on my house through out the seasons. I have used the Home Again collection to document my house in winter. If you pop over to my YouTube channel, you can see how this layout came together and in the description box there is a link to the Spring and Summer videos. I have the photo for Fall that needs to be scrapped to complete the series.
The “template” of the series was laid out with the Spring layout with a header that included a version of “home sweet home” and a footer that contained the journaling and other season appropriate embellishments. These photos were taken in 2017 so it’s taken a while to find collections that enabled me to continue the series using similar, season appropriate elements. This Home Again collection is, as you can see, perfect for the Winter version of this series!
Each of the layouts has a tag in the bottom, left corner that tells a little something about the outside appearance of our house in that season. This particular winter, we didn’t put up outside lights. December has become increasingly chaotic as the kids get older leaving less time for “unessential” decorating, such as the outside of the house.
The header of each of the layouts has incorporated patterned paper and a way of adding the “Home Sweet Home” phrase. While previously a tag has housed that sentiment, the chipboard frame was perfect here. I had to use cardstock to create a blank canvas for the frame as the “Bless this house” that came pre-printed in the frame was not fully covered by “sweet”. Sweet was cut using a font in my Silhouette. The “home” to the left and right of sweet are both chipboard pieces that I cut to nestle flush with the frame, thus completing the phrase. Element stickers are tucked in behind this for some added visual interest.
I’m am so pleased with the way this series is turning out, long and drawn out as it’s been! LOL! It’s neat to see how different the house looks in each different season.
Thanks for stopping in to today!
Suzanna
