It may be cold outside, but we’ve got inspiring winter themed layouts that will bring a warm, sunny smile to your face!
Check out these fun and creative ideas for adding some warmth to your scrapbook pages from Cara, Melissa, Jing-Jing, and Beth.
Feel the Motion
Carry the movement of a windy day from the picture to the page by adhering yarn in breezy swirls like those on Cara Vincens’ layout. To mimic the sparkle of fresh snow, sprinkle in a few rhinestones.

Create a scene
Outline patterned paper hills using hemp or twine to help create a scene on your page like Lawn Fawn design team member Melissa Stinson did on this fun winter page!

Like Jing-Jing Nickel, give a winter themed layout the illusion of warmth by creating a woven inspired background from patterned paper or fabric.

Include photos on your layout that help tell the story and show the personality of your subject like Beth Hallgren did.

I was looking for a layout that uses that snowflake paper. I love this with its layers and simplicity. Thanks for the inspiration.
Nice job on these layouts. I shall be stealing.
Thanks for the ideas. I was wondering how I would scrap my grown up toddler in the snow. The titles will fit my inspiration.
Each one of these layouts is fabulous. Love simple yet elegant layouts, they surly make the photos the center of attention.
I love the idea for using yarn! It looks breathtaking; I love it!!!
Loved the dashing first layout so much!
Thank you for ideas, I use the magazine all the time for some ideas and then make it my own. Thanks for the inspiration.
