Life In A Snapshot - December Challenge - Snowy Sunrise Layout

Hi all,

December really is flying by.... Here is my project for the Life In A Snapshot challenge. You can find out more here (LINK)

This month we decided that we would do a moodboard instead of a sketch and the theme is winter. 

I decided to use a picture of a sunrise in the snow that I took a few years ago (from a moving car, clever me...!) 

The background paper is by BasicGrey I think, it was difficult to find a paper that matched my photo but this was perfect. I used a little gesso on the background with some spray ink on top. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrap Around The World Mood Board November 2015

Hi all

Here's my entry for Scrap Around the World this month.

Here's what I came up with. The picture is of a Red Legged Partridge my mum spotted on her way home, came running for me to bring my camera, and showed me it. Rather odd as this species is normally found in flocks in fields but this one was on its own in someone's front garden. It was there a few days, quite happily feeding under a bird table, but I've not seen it since so hopefully it's found its way back to the flock.

Here's this month's mood board. Why not join in?

When I saw the mood board I instantly thought of the picture I'd taken of the partridge. A Christmassy bird, and the picture had hints of red and blue. I wanted to include those colours and a nice crisp white for a winter themed layout. 

I had some products left over from my docrafts PDT kit so I challenged myself to use mainly these in my project. In fact the only extras I used are distress paint (I can't get enough of it).

I embossed A4 white card and then added the paints and some adhesive gems for some extra sparkle.

The papers are from the Pocket Full Of Posies Collection and the stickers from Folk Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by!
