Snow Day Creations

Hello friends!

It's snowing outside, so what better way to spend my day than crafting and blogging.

I created this layout using one of my favorite photos of my grandmother and great grandfather. Since my passion is for crafting vintage style, I find working with old photos to be so easy and enjoyable.

I used the Open Book line by Maggie Holmes from Crate Paper This is a huge line with tons of embellishments!

 Along with the layout I also create a feature in every issue of Create magazine called, Party Trio. Which consists of a gift bag, card and party favor. For the Jan/Feb issue I went with a Valentine theme. I really wanted the gift bag to look like an old worn vintage suitcase. I really had fun looking up photos and finding metal brads and buckles to create this look. For my favor I cut out 2 paper hearts and hand stitched them to create a pocket to fill with candy. I used the Authentique Crush line because it had the perfect vintage styled valentine papers, instead of the bright colors that I typically see.

You can see these and more in the latest issue of Create magazine at scrapbookgeneration.com

Wishing you a lovely weekend, Lindsey
