Hello swirly family! I am proud to bring you the "Ten Days of Winter" series featuring our beautiful January kit. I recently featured the layouts on my blog for the first ten days of the year. I am pleased to bring this series to you with close up photos and a few tips along the way.
Welcome to Day 1!
Aren't these twins adorable! They are my coworker's 2 year old twins. As you can see, they had a ball playing in the snow and plotting to throw snowballs at their dad.
I drew two mountains to give the effect that the twins were playing in the snow. I lightly sprayed each mountain with glimmer mist. One mountain is sprayed with Haunted Shadow and the other is sprayed with Moonlight. I also inked the edges with Broken China distress ink.
I used my Silhouette to cut the title "Winter Wonderland." Then I sprayed it haphazardly with the Haunted Shadow glimmer mist.
The snowflakes are mounted on purple cardstock which is trimmed in the shape of the snowflake. The large snowflake in the background is from Creative Imaginations and was part of my inventory of madness. I thought it would look great with the papers. The snowflakes were mounted with foam squares for added dimension.
Thank you for joining me today.

There is a new tutorial over at Swirlydoos!! Krissy has put together a great step by step tutorial for a canvas wall hanging!! She used the Canvas Project Add On Kit from the November. It is simply fabulous!! So head on over and go check it out!! This one is fun!! The photo in Krissy's canvas project is of her darling son being lead by his daddy, or it could be the other way around. Either way it is just so precious. Krissy used this photo before, in a layout she did from the Premiere Swirlydoos kit, "Decadence". The journaling was beautiful, and I thought I would share it with you.
Walk alongside me, daddy
and hold my little hand.
I have so many things to learn
that I don't yet understand.
Teach me things to keep me safe
from dangers every day.
Show me how to do my best
at home, at school, at play.
Every child needs a gentle hand
to guide them as they grow.
So walk alongside me, daddy -
We have a long way to go.
