Happy New Year Layout

I wasn't really sure about this layout at first, but I am pleasantly surprised on how it turned out.
My daughter Ashley took these photos of Sawyer and Dawson on New Years Day.

The cream coloured paper in the middle and around the outer edge of this layout is very old paper of mine (like over 10 yrs) it is hand made paper and very fiberous, almost like a fabric. It is also very thin, so I had to adhere it to some cardstock to make it more stiff.
I just had to use this paper as it has gold flecks in a fireworks pattern, how could I not!
If you saw the back of this paper, you would see that I cut out the center of this paper and adhered it to the middle of the layout....I am so so thrifty with papers!

I wanted to make a banner, but I wanted it to be different then my last one......so I used stars!
I thought this was fitting for a New Years banner with the little ones :)

What is fun about the confetti paper is that some of the dots are glossy.
I wanted to add even more sparkle to this layout, so I used these sparkly enamel dots scattered around the whole layout.

I also made a video on this layout.

Love Always Snow day Layout

I am following a on-line course I purchased from SCT 365 2019 .
I wouldn't call it a class or a course..but instructional share, lol.
They send you a scrapbook sketch as well as a look at the completed page (pages) that the artist  created.
You also get detailed instructions on how they created the layout.
A bonus to signing up for this is they have a FB page where, all who are signed up, can access to share their work.
I love looking at everyone's pages to see how their layouts came together..they are all so different

So today I am sharing my 2 page spread on this challenge.

Of course it is of my adorable grandsons.
I'm thinking there will be many a layouts on these two cuties 💗
This layout is about the boys enjoying a beautiful day out in the snow after one of our snowstorms.

Look how cute they are 💗
I printed the smaller photos on my Canon Selphy CP910 and I love how they turn out.
For the 5x7 photo I used my Canon MX420 printer, which also prints photos.
I noticed that the 5x7 photo turned out to have a bit of a negative effect when tilted. It could be because I may need more ink, but I'm thinking I will re-print them at a professional photo lab.

The boys dog, Oscar, even made the page.
That dog is like a kangaroo, lol. He loves to jump.
Don't The boys look so cuddly warming up from playing outside.

The title words are white chipboard that I coloured with distress inks to match the colours in the papers.
You can see here how this paper has a touch of foil in the snowflakes.

For the banner I used a Stampin' Up banner punch.
I inked, then added some stickles to the wood veneer snowflakes. The next snowflake I just punched with a snowflake punch out of the pattern paper.

Here are the completed pages!
I feel so accomplished to have not only completed a scrapbook layout..but with pictures too!!!!

I also made a video of this layout in more detail in my video below.
