Connie Can Crop Design Team: White Christmas Layout

Dear scrappers,
I am sharing with you this layout I made for Connie Can Crop, featuring my family's first (and only) white Christmas Day:

Too bad the the picture doesn't make justice to the satin finish of the pages and rhinestones bling.

The left side open up:

The Right side has and insert for more pictures:

I used an sketch my dear Tammi Sanders' Photofull old class:

I used printed paper from K.1, which came in a Paperworks kit of the month, the same with other embellishments. 

 I use the same file from my first card: Little-Penguin-Winter--winter-bench_p_2383 from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps, which I colored with Chameleon alcohol markers

BTW, I used the Jingle Bells rhinestone sentiment and rhinestones, which I received yesterday as a surprise from Connie's Crafty Cart:

Big thank you Connie, I loved my surprise goodies :-)

More materials:

Some closeups:

To my project:

 I had some fun coloring this file: Little-Penguin-Winter--winter-bench_p_2383 from our sponsor Bugaboo Stamps:

 I used Chameleon alcohol markers, which I'm still learning how to use as you can see: 

The Cabochons are from Connie's crafty cart ebay store, as well as the green stickles I added everywhere 

to add some more sparkle to this image. I also used some clear Wink of Stella to the snowflakes, snow, and cheeks

of the penguins, which is hard to see in this images.

For the inside, I added more glitter cardstock and a sentiment from Tattered Lace. Also accented with wink of stella

marker. The ink I used, as well as cardstocks are from CTMH. The patterned paper is from Tattered Lace Magazine 

(their free paper in their special Christmas issue).

I hope you enjoyed this project and decide to play along this fun challenge.
Scrappy hugs,
