"Hello Winter" Home Decor for Reneabouquets

Hi crafty friends, today I have for you a home decor piece to decorate your home for the winter. Yes Christmas may be over but winter is not, so let's celebrate it. 
I started with a sign that I purchased at the Dollar Store I added the frame from  the kit Beautiful Box Large Decorative Snowflake Shaker Box With Frame. Then I gave the entire project a coat of white chalk paint. Then added my background cardstock embellished with the beautiful Wide Floral Embroidered Lace in White and used a large snowflake cookie cutter from my stash. I had this very large snowflake cookie cutter and wanted it to be the foundation of my composition. 

I then diecut these cute ice skates and placed them on top of the cookie cutter. I adorned them with the sweet Trinkets Set of 6 Victorian Snowflakes from RB store. 

The florals I used are White Roses, Gardenias & Leaves MulberryMini White Mulberry Paper Roses And Leaves Set of 24 and also Antique Linen Roses, Gardenia And Leaves.  I then tucked inside one of the Beautiful Board Large First Snow Snowflakes.  Now what would a project be with out a bit of sparkle. So I added Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. around the perimeter of the large snowflake. 

Here's wishing you and your family a cozy and peaceful winter season..... blessings

"Beautiful Dreamer" Mixed Media Layout for Reneabouquets

 Hello to you all and hoping your new year is getting off with a heart full of hope and peace. Today I have for you a winter mixed media layout featuring of course, beautiful items from Reneabouquets store. 

I started off my layout adding some pretty texture by using Crackle Texture Paste and then adding Reneabouquets Beautiful Board Large Brick Elements. Using Beautiful Board Large Shaker Box I created a window for this sweet little girl to look out upon the beautiful snow. Inside the shaker box I added Beautiful Beads Glass MoonstoneGawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass and also Beautiful Board Bits-Winter Snowflakes. At the top of the shaker box I embossed the Beautiful Board Large Holly Flourish. 
On the shudders I also embossed the Beautiful Board Large Pretty Ivy. The very large pretty snowflakes on the corners of the shaker box are Beautiful Board Large Vintage Snowflakes Set of 7 and I embossed them with Winter White EP. I did add in some of my assorted winter greens but the flowers I used from the store are Christmas Burgundy Poinsettias and Roses and Holly leaves. 
To finish off my layout I then added Beautiful Board Small April In Paris Adornment, of course some of my favorite Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Skeleton Leaf Laser Cut and Butterfly Disses Delicate Beauty Butterflies. I hope you enjoyed this layout and wishing you a warm and cozy winter season filled with love.
