BBTB2: Cricut - Magical Winter Snowflakes

 Although we rarely get snow (last time was in 1976) in the SF Bay Area, we can jump in the car and be in Tahoe in just a few hours.  Since the grandkids now live about an hour from the snow, I'm sure I will be scrapbooking a lot more pictures of their winter snow adventures.  I selected our challenge at Bitten by the Bug2 for the next few weeks - and the theme is "Magical Winter Snowflakes".  You must use your Cricut machine and create a card, project, or layout using snowflakes.  There are so many in Design Space, some are very intricate, and all are so unique.  I cut out three different ones for my project.

I purchased the Frozen Image Set when it first came out several years back, and admit, I haven't used it enough.  For my double layout, I used the print and cut for the Title, Elsa, and Olaf.  They are just too intricate to cut that small from paper.  The snowflakes are from Frozen and When It's Cold Outside.  The layer of snow is actually tagged as sand and was found in Family Vacation.  My background paper is a soft pink, a nice contrast to the greens and blues used in the layout.  I inked the snowflakes to make them stand out, and inked the edges of the trees in white ink to look like snow.  Maybe I will add some Stickles to the branches too.  A few gems top off the project.

Credit for my layout goes to Terry Newman of Scrappytodoit with my Cricut on FB.  Her inspiring layout is below.

Link up your project to our Bitten by the Bug2 blog before January 31, 2020 HERE

  1. Great layout and the print, then cut option is a great one for those kinds of images. My kids were too old for Frozen, but my great-nieces played the movie over and over.
