SOME WINTER SPARKLE

When I saw Craft Hoarders Anonymous latest challenge I knew just what photos I was going to use. Back in early December my son was so excited when we had our first snow of the season.  (little did we know then that it was the first of more snow than we have seen in years.)  Challenge #4 was to show some Sparkle, Glitz or Glam.



I had a pretty light blue paper that had sparkly silver snowflakes.  I matted that on a sheet of Navy Cardstock to set it off.  That snowy day we had gone to one of our favorite area parks - Lum's Pond. I had several great tree shots which I decided to work with first even though this would be page 2 of the photos.  I matted them all with a light blue and then the same navy as the backing page.  I added a big sparkly snowflake ornament to the bottom and some epoxy stickers and a few enamel dots.  The enamel dots are for Scrap Our Stash Stash-a-Thon Challenge #7 - Confetti.  

I am entering this in Scrapbook.com Monochromatic challenge.  



I thought I was finished but it just didn't seem quite 'sparkly' enough.  I took my glue pen and outlined all the photos and then ran an edge of glitter around them all.

Finally finished.

Here is my layout:




This is going to be page 2 of a 2 page layout from that day.  The first has photos of arriving at the park and my son Thomas...off to find the photos and knock that one out too!

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope that you have enjoyed our memories of the first (of far too many) snow days this winter season.
