You're My Treasure Layout by Kay


Happy Holidays fellow Berry71Bleu fans!  Kay here with my project for the December challenge.  This month's challenge is all about Winter.  Now I know this may sound crazy but I actually prefer the chilly/cold season versus heat & humidity.  There's something about drinking that warm cup of coffee or hot cocoa in the Winter months that I find truly rewarding--it's a simple pleasure that I thoroughly enjoy.

I decided to craft a recent photo of my son taken for the Holidays.  My project is a Winter/Christmas themed layout that I felt fit the theme for this month's challenge.


The December Mood Board Challenge, hosted by Mandy, is about celebrating the breathtaking
array of fresh fallen show and ice
that is abundant this time of year. Whether you are a snow bunny or prefer to sit inside by a fire, we want to see how you cope with the winter chill!


I've used several digital images from our sponsor Gecko Galz.  The Santa & reindeer tag are both from Gecko Galz.


The adorable deer peeking out from behind the cluster of embellishments is also a digital image from Gecko Galz.  I printed all the images out on 65 lbs white card stock & fussy cut a few of the images out.  These images are fantastic quality & make for wonderful embellishments to any layout, card or altered project.


My design is based on a sketch by Page Drafts.  Looking forward to seeing your projects...

Thank you to our sponsors for providing amazing prizes this month!

Shadow Box by Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

It's my turn today to share my project for the December Challenge.

Here's a reminder of the mood board. It's a real goodie! Thanks Mandy! ;-)


I created a shadow box for this challenge with the title Jack Frost.


I used the gorgeous Altitude Collection from BoBunny, along with the amazing digi images from Gecko Galz.


Here's a closer look at the digi image.  It was fussy cut and then coloured with pencils.


I also used some chipboard pieces and gesso, along with some purple flower soft.


There's still time to play along....

Winter Beauty by Cathi O'Neill


This month at Berry71bleu we have a Winter Chill Mood Board Challenge! Here is a look a the beautiful moodboard that Mandy created for us:


This challenge is about celebrating the breathtaking array of fresh fallen show and ice that is abundant this time of year. Whether you are a snow bunny or prefer to sit inside by a fire, we want to see how you cope with the winter chill!


This month we were sponsored by GeckoGalz and I chose a beautiful vintage image from the Snow Babies Digital Collage page and some of their gorgeous Winter Wonderland digi papers!  I distressed the edges of the vintage image and added some sewing in pink thread to accent the image.  I took several of the digipapers and tore the edges and used them as a base layer to my photo.


I added lots of stamping, splashes, molding paste and masking and fun accents like microbeads and sequins to my page. I rarely use a white background, but thought it would be fitting to showcase the digi papers and reflect the winter chill!! I added some gorgeous flowers and some fun arrows to my design and finished off the layout with a bit more sewing around the edges. I hope you enjoy my layout and I thank you for stopping by to see it!
