I loved the branch elements in the November 2018 To You and Yours Paper Pumpkin kit. As you can see in the kit photo below, they were meant to be used with the green side up.

But if flipped over, the branches become snow-covered white ones! And in clusters they remind me of the limbs of the trees that are up north at the cabin (my parents home).

It’s so beautiful there in the summer, but it’s also stunning in the winter. It’s my heaven on earth any time of the year. So I’ll be eventually adding photos of my family at the cabin on this layout.

I was just there this past weekend with my parents and my friend (and achieving team member), Cheryl Lee. (I’ll share more about our Silver Elite Retreat weekend soon once my photos are ready!)

Here are a few tips and measurements for my pages if you wish to recreate them.

Measurements:

  • Highland Heather Cardstock: 12″ x 12″
  • Pear Pizzazz Cardstock: 12″ x 12″
  • Whisper White Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 11″ and 1-1/2″ x 11″
  • Garden Green Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 11″ and 1-1/2″ x 11″
  • Gorgeous Grape Cardstock: 8-1/4″ x 10-7/8″
  • Daffodil Delight Cardstock: 8-1/4″ x 10-7/8″
  • Early Espresso Cardstock:
    • four pieces that are 5-1/2″ x 4″
    • two pieces that are 4-3/4″ x 1-3/8″
    • two pieces that are 3/4″ x 1-1/4″
    • four pieces that are 3″ x 3-3/4″
  • Woodgrain sticker paper from the kit: three pieces that are 3-5/8″ x 1-1/4″ (one of them cut in half)

Tips:

  • For the ground, I tore the 1-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock strips diagonally in half. I flipped one of the two same colored pieces over and layered them with the flat edges flush to the bottom (and corners flush with the outer bottom corners) of it coordinating 12×12 base page. Then I did the same with the second color and the other 12×12 base page.

  • For each title piece I stamped the wording onto a woodgrain sticker paper strip, trimmed the outer end with a banner v-shaped cut, and then added the 3/4″ x 1-1/4″ Early Espresso piece underneath that end. I attached the un-cut end of that title piece sticker strip to the 4-3/4″ x 1-3/8″ Early Espresso piece. I then added one of the half sticker strips to the other end of the 4-3/4″ x 1-3/8″ Early Espresso piece being careful to keep the banner cut end from sticking down yet (see image below).

  • I trimmed the 3/4″ x 1-1/4″ Early Espresso piece to create an 1/8″ border for the banner cut end of the title strip, stuck down a branch piece onto the half sticker strip area, and then attached the banner cut end of the title strip down with a Dimensional.

  • I sponged on Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back sides of the bases of the branches and then attached them to the pages by layering them.
  • I added the sequins with the Glue Dots that came in the kit.
