Carta Bella Layout

Good afternoon. I'm excited to share with you a layout I created using the Bundled Up by Carta Bella and a few Carta Bella shapes from the Silhouette store. I love Winter collections especially Winter collections that contain bright colors. The Bundled Up collection has tons of beautiful blues and reds. I used this collection to document the only snowman my kids got to make last year. There wasn't much snow so there was only one snowman at our house. My kids were being so silly and their faces add a lot of whimsy to the page.

I love using basic die cut shapes to add a little bit of extra detail to my layouts. I used some basic shapes cut out of red patterned paper to add some extra layers for my details. I added lots of extra tabs and background shapes to this layout.

Are there die cut shapes that you use over and over to create layers and details on your layouts? File tabs and basic shapes are some of my favorites to add to almost all of my projects.

Winter Themed Cards

We had such a fun weekend! My brother and his family were in town for a long weekend visit. I love it when they are in town. We spend all the time we can with them while they are here. My kids love spending time with their cousins. They spend hours and hours and hours in the sandbox at my parents playing with cousins. The amount of sand that those kids were covered in was amazing. I loved hugging all those sand covered kiddos. Nothing makes me happier than spending the weekend with all of my family.
Unfortunately, a long busy weekend was the perfect storm for me to end up with some complications from my treatments...so I landed in Urgent Care yesterday. Yesterday was rough! I was really really frustrated and just mad. Today is a new day and I'm doing better. I'm excited to spend some time at my desk creating. That's the best medicine for me!
Today I'm happy to share a couple of cards that I created with the Carta Bella Bundled Up collection. This collection is perfect for winter photos, perfect! It's full of shades of blue with just a splash of red! It's adorable!

These cards were so easy to create! It's simply a few stickers, a doily, and some patterned paper backgrounds. I did stamp the sentiments on these cards but the stamped sentiment could easily be replaced with sticker sentiments to make them even easier.

Isn't that snowman adorable?!?!

 

 And who doesn't love a cup of hot chocolate in the winter? I know that's one of the only things I like about winter.

Happy Monday! I'm hoping you can spend some time creating too!
