Let It Snow - Sketch N Scrap #189

Hello, hello! Happy Friday to you! I can't believe that we have made it back around to the weekend so quickly! Of course, this time of year always seems to go by so fast - there always seems to be something going on.

It's the middle of the month and that means it is time for a new sketch challenge at Sketch N Scrap. This fun multi-photo sketch is courtesy of Sketch Artist Heather:

Here is what I came up with:

I changed up a couple of things from the sketch. First of all, I had more photos that I wanted to use than what is called for on the sketch, and then by adding the extra photos, I felt like I needed to extend the patterned paper strip just a bit. I'm sure it would have looked okay with a narrower strip, but in all honesty, I wanted to use as much of that cute plaid paper that I could!

Everything on my layout came from my November Counterfeit Kit Challenge kit. You can read more about it here. I always love having everything ready to go when I sit down to scrap. The papers and stickers are from Simple Stories 'Freezin' Season' collection. The alpha stickers are from American Crafts. I was so happy that one of the snowflakes was just the right size to be the 'o' in the word snow.

Here are a couple of close-ups:

How funny is it that these photos were taken on the Monday that we observed Veteran's Day last year - school was let out early that day and Abby had a snow day the next day - and this year - this past Monday, Veteran's Day, in fact - we got some sleet and snow, school was let out early, and Abby and Ada had a snow day on Tuesday! 

Head on over to Sketch N Scrap to see the beautiful creations from the rest of the design team. I would love to see your take on the sketch, too.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you have a fantastic day!
