8.5 x 11 layout

Hi everyone! Sorry if I have been quiet lately. I still have this holiday hangover and I'm trying my best to catch up with all my deadlines. I will surely visit your blogs next week.

For today, I would like to share with you my first 8.5x11 layout of 2011 using the lovely My Scrapbook Nook January kit featuring Fancy Pant's Hot Chocolate collection. I must admit that I was intimidated at first since I really don't have too much Fancy Pants papers, this is actually my 2nd FP layout since I started scrapooking.

On this layout is a souvenir photo taken last month from 'Winter Funland' at Starcity (local amusement park). As you all know, we do not have winter here. The snow here is artificial and it doesn't come close to the real deal. I just love the idea that we had this photo taken.

 "Winter Funland" layout by LG Belarmino - My Scrapbook Nook January kit - Fancy Pants Hot Chocolate Paper, Fancy Pants Border and Element Stickers, and Queen &amp Co Glitter Brads; Others: Cardstock, pearls and twine from a previous kit.
