winter weather in Los Angeles

 Hey there, Aimee here to share a happy snowman layout

 using theWinter Weather cut file

   

The other day I was on my way to Echo Park in Los Angeles to do a little Christmas shopping. 

 

On my way there I saw this snowman made from tumbleweeds. It was just down the street from Dodger stadium. 

 

Of course I told Kevin to drive slow as we made the turn so I could snap a quick shot of him!

 

Isn’t he cute? I love to see the random decorations through out my city during this time of year. 

 

And this is so a So Cal snowman, I just love that palm trees lining the street behind him. It’s so LA.

 

 Thanks for stopping by today, what do the snowmen look like in your city?

Hey there, Aimee here sharing a layout using the new “FrostyFlakes” cut file.

 

I just love how it’s a bunch of snowflakes that make up 1 BIG snowflake. When I went to cut it I knew it was gonna be one of those files that takes awhile, and if it doesn’t come out you get super disappointed and discouraged to cut it again. So I made sure I slowed down my Silhouette Cameo and did a double cut! Let me tell you it cut beautifully!

 

I decided to use the Merry & Bright Collection from Pretty Little Studio. How about those vellum snowflake stickers that I stuck underneath the die cut. I love how they pop out from behind the die cut and add color. 

 

This photo is from last year. We always go and visit the giant snowman that the city of Sierra Madre builds. The community goes up into the mountains, gather snow, and build a snowman a few days before Christmas. 

 

Kevin and I started this tradition a few years ago, around the 23^rd of December we go to see the snowman in the town square, get some Starbucks, and then look at Christmas lights. You can tell from this photo it wasn’t very cold last year since Kevin is in shorts and we both have flip flops on. 

 

I can’t wait to go this year and get our annual photo!

 

What traditions do you have?
