There’s no place like Gnome for the holidays—or for winter scrapbooking! But let’s be real… I wasn’t always a gnome fan. Nope! These little guys had to earn their place in my crafty heart. And guess what? They did! The Gnomes for Winter collection from Close To My Heart completely surprised me, and I couldn’t wait to put it to the test in this 12x12 single-page scrapbook layout!
This layout is extra special because it captures Little Man’s first real snow adventure at Mount Charleston! It was a magical, chilly, giggle-filled day, and this scrapbook page had to do it justice. So, I grabbed my scraps from a previous double-page spread and got to work. And let me tell you… this layout brought the frost and the fun! ❄️💙

Let’s Build a Snowy Scrapbook Masterpiece! 🏔️❄️
1️⃣ Creating the Frosty Base
White Daisy cardstock + ink blending = a soft snowfall effect that makes this page shine! I used snowflakes from the Evergreen Digital Art Kit as masks, blending Sapphire ink over them before peeling them away to reveal frosty magic!
🔥 Pro Tip: Use a light hand when blending over a mask—it creates that soft, misty snow effect!
2️⃣ Layering Up for a Cozy Feel
This layout is all about depth and dimension! By layering different patterned paper scraps and distressing the edges with ink, I gave it that warm & cozy winter charm. And that gutted Sapphire cardstock? It made the perfect framed border!
🔥 Pro Tip: Gutted cardstock = budget-friendly crafting! You keep the look of a frame but save the center for other projects!
3️⃣ Snow Much Fun with Gnome-tastic Embellishments!
I knew I wanted this layout to scream winter fun, so I added stamped snowmen, die-cut gnomes, and layered circles to create a focal point that POPS! I also gave my little gnome friend a shimmer brush makeover—because even gnomes deserve a little sparkle! ✨
🔥 Pro Tip: Add hand-drawn details like stitched lines and highlights with a white gel pen for extra personality!
