Winter Magic at Coal Drops Yard – Scrapbook Layout - Wendy Meffan

For this layout, I used the gorgeous Winter Perspextive from the November Fox Box, and it couldn’t have been a better fit for my photos from a lovely day out with Kirei and Morag.

We spent the morning at Coal Drops Yard meandering through the Christmas decorations and spotting the most adorable snowman — the perfect photo moment! The cool tones and frosty feel of the Winter Perspextive matched my pictures perfectly.

I went for a vertical design down the centre of the page, creating a clean flow that draws the eye through the story. I layered torn paper strips from Hip Kit Club kits to add soft texture and dimension. The distressed edges worked beautifully to mimic the feel of drifting snow, giving the layout a cosy, wintry vibe without being too heavy.

To add extra depth, I used Stencil #131 from Fox Box Plus, using distress oxides to coordinate with the perspextive colour. One of those small details that really pulls the page together and adds a bit of mixed-media fun.

The Mini Winter Tree Perspextives were the perfect finishing touch — I tucked them in around my photo cluster and along the paper layers to create a little winter scene. Their clean acrylic shine contrasts so nicely with the torn paper edges and makes the whole design pop.

A few diamante dots, and the page felt complete. This layout brings back all the happy memories of that chilly London day — laughter, lights, and a little bit of winter magic captured forever.

Until next time .. Happy Scrapping!
