size: 10" dia (spread open)

Created: June 25, 2013
Modified:

I love making blizzard books and I had mentioned I would love to teach a class doing one to my favorite stamp store... So finally created a teachable one BIG GRIN

I added die cut letters to each tag to spell "Memories".

I'm using a lot of stamps from Quietfire Design "Happy Birthday - Family Days set", "You are Amazing", "Friends are those rare", "Je t'aime - Francais set", "My Friend", "Valentine's Set 2013" "Flourishes 1 set",

The blizzard structure is done with "Cappuccino" Canson Ingres paper (supposedly this color is discontinued...). The tags, letters, box are cream toned 110# cardstock. Various other die cuts and embellishments using decorated scraps from my stash.

Tags cut with Sizzix "Tags, Scallop Combo #2"

Little rectangle covers, embossed, sponged with the Raspberry & Twig Brown, then lightly sanded.

Tied various fun yarns with a cream toned narrow ribbon. Tied a peg bow from the same narrow ribbon or a wider cream gauze ribbon. Some of the bows I added a dab of Golden's Extra Heavy Gel Medium to keep the bow in place.

Added some warm highlights micro fine glitter on the center floret (Memory Box "Tilth Floral" negative parts & Cheery Lynn "Miniature Rose"). Also added the Joy Craft die cut butterfly and some amber rhinestones on the body.
