Christmas Eve Snow . . .
This challenge from Karen at The (Paper) Trail Challenge Blog came at the perfect time - we've seen more of the white stuff than I want around here lately! But our first really good snow was on Christmas Eve. We drove through the country to visit my parents that day and the snow was so beautiful, we stopped so I could snap a few pictures. The January kit from the Paper Trail had everything I needed - the Echo Park Wintertime papers formed the perfect base, and the Prima stud frame really sets the title off well. The snowflakes from the Echo Park stickers cascade down from the title, drawing the eye to the snow picture and the adorable snowman. These stickers are perfect for layering to add depth and texture. I used blue stickles on the paper to add a little bling, and the snowflake (center of the large snowflake) and the "buttons" on the snowman provided a little more bling, then the puffy ribbon layered over a border sticker form the base for the entire layout. Oh - and a tip to add a little visual interest to your photo - if you usually mat your photos, change it up every now and then by doing an asymmetrical frame, like I did here. I love the formal look of matting, but sometimes a more casual look is better!
On a personal note - I have totally enjoyed serving on the Paper Trail design team. Karen, your product and challenges have been fantastic. Ladies, your designs have inspired and encouraged me, and I am proud to have designed with you all. It has been a pleasure! I look forward to keeping up with you all via the challenge blog. Thank you all!!
