Last winter the Ludington area received 110"... yes, that's ONE HUNDRED TEN INCHES of snow! This year, it seems we are getting more wind than snow, at least they are in town. Wesley & Michael went to the State Park to take part in an evening snow shoe walk on Saturday, with the path lit by mini Coleman lanterns. Unfortunately, there was so little snow that the snow shoe walk turned into a regular snow BOOT walk to the beach. There was a bonfire before hand, and Wesley & Michael also continued their own walk within the park later in the evening..
Friday, they were going to head out to 'look for snow', in anticipation of the potential snow shoe walk.... they ended up going down to the beach and bringing back 3" thick pieces of beautifully clear LAKE MICHIGAN ICE.
On their way home, Wesley told Michael "Let's see mom scrapbook THAT!" You can BET I will.
Before they left for one of their adventures, Wesley & Dakota were playing outdoors. I asked Michael to take a few photos for me (I was in the middle of another project downstairs) because I had a layout I wanted to create. They were still playing a few minutes later, so I took some more.....you can never have TOO many photos to scrap, right?
I used the Winter Wonderland layout kit by Inspired Inc, using all but 2 pieces of the kit.
I ADDED one piece of 3 Birds Sticky Sparkly Glitter & Foil Set, part of their GRACEFUL SEASONS COLLECTION. The foiled red "Smile" which sits beside the two 2.5 inch photos near the center of the two pages fits those photos and the mood of their activity that afternoon. I like that the foil not only catches your eye, drawing your attention to the 2 smaller photos, but I like that the foil also helps liven up the page, since there are so many other dark colors within it. I also layered some pieces cut from banners from an earlier 3 Birds border kit and placed them below the chipboard "winter". I LOVE to sort through my stash and find things that match the colors in my photos.
I also LOVE to mix and match kits as well as collections, so to any of you who are purists in terms of using kits or working with only one company's products, I apologize. BEWARE: I DO THIS QUITE OFTEN... You've been warned lol.
