Winters are fairly mild where I live, and I don’t see snow every year, unlike Chelle who probably sees more than enough of the white stuff even before Christmas. I haven’t seen snow yet this season, so  I’ve been thinking about planning a trip to an area where I can do more than ski, like snow shoeing, tubing, or snowmobiling. I’ve got a new pocket camera ready to take with me to the slopes, and I know the perfect digital scrapbooking kit I’ll use for my photos. It’s Chelle’s  classic Winter Thrills kit. Have you seen it? I love it! I bought it last year when I had just returned from my very first time on the slopes.

Krisi has also just recently learned to ski, and she used Chelle’s kit to make a page about it. She had “learning to ski” on her bucket list, just as I did, and now she can check it off. I know she had fun, and I’m impressed that there are no pictures of her on the ground. She looks very relaxed and confident, don’t you think? I love how she used the silhouette on the page blended into the tan paper, and I love her mix of alphas and the word strip to make the title. This kit and the bundle (which is a great value) have a lot of unique and fun elements, like the frost border and the skis and poles Krisi has added.2011_Skiing_web

Jennifer is fortunate enough to live where snow is more of a standard winter feature, so her family is accustomed to winter sports. One of her boys just recently got hooked on snowmobiling. I can see why! Her page with the fun clusters makes it look like a fantastic thrill!  Like Krisi, Jennifer used the frost, but she used the element instead of the border and arranged several copies of it behind the clusters of snowflakes, photos,  paper shapes, and word strips. I love the way she buttoned the snowflakes to the page, and the felt snowmobile element looks just like the one in her photos. web_letsride

I’ll leave you with a closer look at the kit in the market. Be sure to check out the bundle; it is a bargain with all the extra elements, clusters, and word art pieces. The images are linked to the store at Scrap Orchard. cc_winterthrills_kitcc_winterthrills_bundle

If you’ve used Chelle’s Winter Thrills kit or the bundle on your scrapbooking layout, I would personally love it if you posted it in her gallery at Scrap Orchard. I’m still planning my trip, remember, so I might need some inspiration from you! I’ll be on the look-out for your page.
