Christmas Cutie Page using Carta bella and Echopark

Hi all, Jennifer Taylor here. I am stopping by to share a fun page i made of my middle daughter when she was younger at Christmas time from about 6 years ago. I challenged myself to use the polka dot papers from both the echo park and carta bella papers i was given and not to use any green. Do you challenge yourself too? I just loved how the torn look on my snowman card came out that I decided to give it a try on a scrapbook page.

here are the goodies I got in my November dt box

12 x 12 scrapbook page

First, I chose the picture I wanted to use on my page then I grabbed the snow fun brads packaging-(you know I can't let anything go to waste) look at that cool border of light blue on it! so I cut it off and used it as a layer to my photo. then I grabbed the carta bella foiled polka dot paper and the echo park polka dot paper and trimmed it to mat the photo then tore the edges. I love this look!

I then layered them under the photo.

Before I adhered the photo and mats down I cut a piece of light blue label off the brad embellishments and added a piece on top and a piece on the bottom. one has her name and the other half the date

Next, I carried the torn look onto the other side using longer 12 inch strips and the same colors layering them ontop of each other

After adhering the torn strips to the left side of the page layout I added the cabin fever by carta bella mitten banner to the middle to connect the two sides. I also, rubbed on the snowflakes and added brads in the middle of them .

Lastly, to finish the page I added two more blue diecuts from the brad embellishments and a merry Christmas flair to the corner of the photo. the title I made from letter stickers I had in my stash
