A few weeks ago I mentioned in passing a blog challenge - Curiouser and curiouser - that I'd found, where Kirsty Merran was offering a giveaway with a twist, namely that she'd made some highly cute and desirable embellishments and was offering them IF you used it in a project - these would then be linked in a blog hop and the whole array of ideas for cute embellishments would be displayed in all it's glory in one inspirational and diverse hop.
Well, this is it - at least my part in it. I'm not sure how inspiration or diverse I've been with my standard 12 x 12 layout, but I had a load of fun. As soon as I opened the envelope, I thought of the phrase 'Snowflakes are winter's butterflies' and this, with my two embellishments became the basis of my planning.
Paint, glimmer mist, a scrap of fabric from Spoonflower, a few scraps of pp, letter stickers, bakers twine, a charm and snowflake brads all took their places on my latest favourite LO base - a sheet of Bazzill (in this case to match the paint) overlaid with 8.5 x 11 kraft paper. I think the embellishments make it - do you?

Great layout. Becky x
I have a stamp with that on and it used to be one of favourites...may just have to look it out for for some Christmas Cards this year...
Love the way you have used the embellishments on your LO...
Have a great weekend...

Such a lovely quote and layout and I like the bakers twine to match the paperclip.
Snowflakes! What a clever idea. I'm loving the way the embellishments are suggesting something different to everyone.
Hope you have a great weekend and happy hopping!
Great page - I love the colour combination. It's one I want to try soon.
Enjoy the weekend

You matched it beautifully with the hints of red in the photo and the twine - great page!

I would never have thought to use the embellies on a winter layout. They are perfect and your layout with all the different textures is gorgeous xx
Great LO :) Love the colours and embellishments :)
But I love 12x12 :D This is so lovely and all the stash coordinates together so well with the photos. Really great textures as well with the mist, twine and metal. Totally agree with everyone about the quote - I've not heard it but it's perfect here!
Thanks for taking part, and making such a lovely project!
Beautiful LO, I've never heard that quote before! And such a change to see a wintery page while everyone else is doing summer. Lovely!
