Christmas Eve Snow . . .
Karen at The (Paper) Trail Challenge Blog issued a challenge a couple of years ago that was perfect - we had seen more of the white stuff than I wanted all winter long! But our first really good snow that year 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!
I love looking back at pages that I did previously. With this one, I love the texture, and the layering.Do you ever look back at your past layouts? If so, what do you think of your old layouts?
