AKBride (Hey, Teresa!) and I spent a glorious weekend at Astoria, Oregon attending a Scrappin' Retreat with 18 other women. We had a blast and are already packing for the next one...whenever that is. LOL! This is one of the pages I completed.
Isn't this layout great? It's from 52 Weeks - 52 Sketches. http://52sketches52weeks.com/?p=356 I started with a 12x12 piece of Textured Whisper White cs and added a layer of Old Olive cs. I then rounded the corners of the dsp layer - the left with a Corner Rounder Punch and the right by tracing a 1 3/4" circle at the corner and trimming it. I then attacked the Bashful Blue with a make up sponge and Frost White Shimmer Paint. I just brushed it across there to resemble blowing snow. I finished off the page with a Whisper White title done with my Big Shot and the Naturally Serif die, added the Felt Flurries and my journaling and photo panels. To really dress up the photo, I tore a piece of Whisper White cs and added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds with my Two-Way Glue Pen.

Love this page, and that you were brave enough to scrap that picture! The added touch of the white CS and the glitter at the bottom of the photo is perfect.

Ooooh, briliant use of the dazzling diamonds to highlight the white cs snow line! Really love the white space of the green border and the snowflakes! Really liking this page a lot!
