Hello friends! It’s Nathalie here to share a bit of inspiration featuring the latest Before You Go cards from the Scrapbook & Cards Today Winter 2021 Issue.  What better way to use these beautiful and free cards than to document a fresh snowfall in my December Daily album?! Let’s take a look at the cards:

Here is what I created using the bonus printable:

Supplies: Before We Go Winter 2021 printables; Patterned paper, die cut number: Echo Park Winter collection; Adhesive: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L; Gems: Taylored Expressions; Font: Remington Noiseless

The color palette of the cards was the starting point for this double page spread in my 6 x 8 inch December album, where I created “pocket pages” outside of the pocket protector, meaning I replaced the pocket page with patterned paper from Echo Park’s Winter collection and designed in a grid!

I decided to print two of the pictures to 3 x 4 inches and place them to the right of the patterned paper, like half of a grid design. Here, I used the 3 x 4 inch filler card with the sweet, small winter icons to create a 3 x 8 inch bookmark card. I used Photoshop to trim the card out, then copied and pasted it together to create the longer 8 inch bookmark.

One of the advantages of printable cards is that you can print as many as you need. I used the larger icons in the 3 x 4 inch cards and the 6 x 4 inch card to create the cascade of embellishments on the bookmark card, which I adhered using foam adhesive to give dimension to the page. I trimmed the rest of the tabs and flags to use them as embellishments on the pictures. I even fussy cut the small, “Joy”, tag from the 6 x 4 inch card and looped it through the number die cut.

I used the same patterned paper from the Winter collection to create the base for my large photo. Since there is a lot of pattern on the page already, my choice was to create a small pocket behind the large photo for my journaling, using the “love this winter story” printable card. The pink banner in the 6 x 4 inch card created the perfect tab to access the journaling card. To finish the page, I scattered a few white gems through the page just like the snow in the photos.
