"Little Sweethearts" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #737

Take photos of the adorable and fluffy coats, hats, mittens, scarves, and more-- clothing that the freezing temperatures demand we wear.

Most likely, they were selected with care and are great items to showcase. Even if your winter attire isn't your favorite, it's still great to preserve the daily items of your life - you and your loved ones will enjoy looking back on previous fashion choices. Winter clothing has lots of lovely textures and patterns for amazing photos.

You can get close ups of each piece of clothing if they are especially cute or if you have a good story attached to them.

"Backyard Snow Fun" by Paije Potter - Pattern #478

Be sure to get shots of the snow covered vegetation whether you are in the mountains or in your backyard.

These photos make great stand-ins for pattern paper that will add to the story and beauty of your winter layout. You can use them on their own as a separate design element or as pieces to fill in the more decorative dies (such as On the Dot). They add texture and make the more specific subject stand out on the page.

Besides, the snow is what makes winter so special a season, so take those snowy shots!

"Snowboarding Sundance '21" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #28 (Exclusively in Cutting Corners Book)

Around sunset, the winter skies have beautiful pastel colors such as soft blue, purple, pink and orange, and they look so amazing on pages!

You can see the colors of the winter sky truly pop off the page above. The beautiful mountain scenery is a special bonus, but winter skies look great anywhere you are. We recommend placing these photos on a dark grey, like pewter or graphite, Navy or Black so the colors truly shine. Your page will be truly 'winter-magical'.

Be sure to add these beautiful photos to your winter layouts.

"Winter in the Air" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #200

Another common weather experience during the winter is a very foggy day.

Foggy weather can make wonderful photos and adds something special to your album. Not only is the fog beautiful in of itself, but it diffuses the light so you can get unique photos of your subjects. The fog also makes the background of your photos naturally blur.

Next time you wake up to a foggy day, grab your camera and start clicking away. Your winter layout or scrapbook album will thank you!

"Beautiful Winter Walk" by Paije Potter - Pattern #808

Have you ever made a page detailing the delicate frost covering?

The winter frost makes beautiful winter photos. You can take pictures of your own frosty home or the special places covered in frost on your winter travels. Add frost inspired embellishments on your winter layout for a completely delicate, winter look.

Take pictures of calm winter scenes around you.

The cold weather can make the water and the woods more still. The water near you may even be frozen solid. It's a wonderful opportunity to experience peaceful winter scenes. Take photos near the water or in the woods. Enjoy the blue light typical of calm winter days in your photos.

You'll love the calm and peaceful winter layouts you can make.

"Chippokes in the Winter" by Jodi Benson- Pattern #727

Winter weather can also make for dull, bland, and even ugly landscapes.

We say embrace the leaf-less trees, the mud, the dreary, and the unusual! Those seemingly boring landscape photos can actually be what makes your winter pages shine. Take the less-than colorful photos. Don't shy away from lifeless scenes. Adding these photos really will make a great winter layout.

Trust us! Try it out for yourself. One tip is to use a colorful grid paper to contrast your photos.
