Cool Layout

It's supposed to hit 90 degrees this weekend.  All the snow we had this winter seems like a distant memory as we are going out early to do our gardening and beat the heat.

This layout is from the one snow we had in 2009.  It had been years since we had a snow day so I took lots of photos, made cookies, and walked in the snow.

Project Notes:

• Most of this page is a digital layout as shown here.  I just added the ribbon, some chipboard letters and the snowflake.

• The background paper was actually a red color.  It was changed in Photoshop Elements with the Hue/Saturation option before adding to the layout.  I usually have the photos open so I can match the background paper to the photos as much as possible.

• The snowflake was painted white.  Then I sponged it with Whisper White craft ink and embossed with glittery embossing powder.

Doing this as a part digi page really worked out great since I'd never been able to find the right background paper for these photos. 

Thanks for stopping by!
