I'm in LOVE with Timbergrove!!!

This is my post up at Frosted Designs today:

Well, I hope it's warm and cozy wherever you are.  I know it's always warmer here in Phoenix, Arizona so I won't rub it in.  But every year we make a trek to a local festival so that my son, Joseph can play in the "man-made" snow.  Yes, we actually pay $2 for 5 minutes so that Mommy can get some snow pictures to scrap.  It usually takes me $6 and 15 minutes to get what I want and my little guy is such a trooper to pose for me in between all his playtime!!

Now..due to this information (lack of snow in Phoenix), I will apologize now that you will see the same photos over and over on the following layouts.  But, that's ALL the snow stuff I have to work with and it takes effort just to get these photos!!!

So, I was waiting patiently (ok not so patiently) for Fancy Pants Timbergrove to arrive at the store so I could scrap my annual snow photos.  

The first three layouts I did (all in one night)....

***********************************

Joseph had fun putting the different pieces of die-cut snowmen together until I found the perfect combination to use on this layout.  I used the small alpha stickers for my title and a few of the stickers as accents.

I used a sketch by Wendy Antenucci.

****************************

I removed the string from the tags and replaced it with my own twine.  

But then I used that string I had removed to hook the mittens together.

I used 3 different styles of the small alphas for the title "Snow in Phoenix"...yes all of those alphas come in this set!!  For this one I used a Pagemaps sketch.

**********************************

Here I used the larger alphas and some stickers, a tag, chipboard (from the button set) and buttons for accents.  I also cut open one of the envelopes (maroon diagonal stripe) and used it like paper.  The twine is an addition from my stash.  And this one was a sketch from Sketches with a Twist.

*******************************

So after I let those first three layouts digest for a few days...I just couldn't STOP using this line!!

I just loved using the patterned frames on this one!!

************************************

And some random pieces of the papers on this one (and another one of those darling frames) and I LOVED the corrugated paper that comes in the kit!  I used another sketch from Wendy Antenucci on this one!

******************************************

I had fun with this one...the wood frames are from my stash, but I love how this one turned out!!

************************

And finally...I really thought this one sheet of paper was the most eye-catching piece and was really the ONE piece that sold me on the whole collection.  

But then when I got the stuff in my hot-little-hands, I actually was intimidated to use this paper and do it justice and not cover up all the cuteness!!!  (Anyone else ever feel that way?)

So, I chose one 5x7 and placed it just left of center.  I added some brown cardstock, kept my journaling on a tag in one of the envelopes (lower left) behind the photo.  I added some random stickers but decided this one didn't really need a "title".  It just "is".  I'm so thankful that I pulled this one off and this is actually my favorite layout from this collection so far.  

I still have quite a bit of the line left, but I need to put it away for a while and work with something "warmer"...lol!!

But seriously, if you have winter photos, YOU NEED THIS LINE.  

The collection pack comes with alphas (multiple sets - minis in different fonts and a larger set), stickers, border/tape stickers, 2 pieces of corrugated paper and 12 sheets of patterned paper!!

The teal and light blue with the maroon and grey....LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
