Chinese New Year

The layout I'm sharing today I made using the Chinese New Year package from the Creative Kuts. They have added many new files, go check them out, http://www.creativekuts.com/

I didn't know anything about a Chinese New Year so I checked it out on the internet of course. The color red is very important in this celebration as well as orange. 
All the paper piecings were chalked and pop-dotted for dimension. I made the shadows behind the Chinese writing using SCAL.

Now for my project:

I have a 2 page layout I made using the Reach For the Stars file. I didn't go for the traditional Christmas or winter colors, I like the bright & pastel colors of the gloves! The stacked snowpeople were all chalked and pop dotted for dimension and I cut an extra standing snowman to put on my 2nd page. I used a white gel pen to draw the loopies on their sweaters and punched tiny snowflakes for their gloves. The snowflakes are from the SCAL library and I cut them from glitter paper.

For this hop we were to use something that rings. I used bells in my door decoration for the house. I used several Creative Kuts files for this layout. The house is from Home for the Holidays, the bells are the Christmas Bells file, the boy is from Vet Office and the girl is from Strawberry Festival. The flag is from the SCAL library.
