So good to be Friday afternoon and home from work :) . Today I wanted to share a layout that was prompted by the challenge at Show Us Your Stuff . I love that these challenge sites inspire me to do a layout that I probably would not have done other wise. But when I saw the prompt it made me think of a photo I took last week when it snowed. Here is the challenge.....
and my take on the challenge
Winter Beauty
I was not so lucky to have to work on a snowy day, but was lucky to see a rainbow on the way to work. I took a couple of photos. This one is the rainbow at the end of the apple orchard at work.
I have used the negative of the chevron chippy and snowflake chippies from Scrapmatts. I gessoed them and then sprinkled glitter over the top. Braid circles and pearls from Craftqueen. Silver netting from Marally Craft and coat hanger ribbon that was my mums (she was a mad coat hanger maker) I thought it was nice and soft and added to a wintry feel. The silver cord was also from Mum's treasure tin.
I stamped around the outside with a Kaiser stamp painted with 3D stamp paint, then I added glitter to this as well. Now this is where I created a huge mess. I don't know how the ladies that do the video tutorials with embossing powders and the like , stay so clean and organised. My scrapbooking room now looks like a fairyland, I have glitter EVERYWHERE ! Oh well it is pretty at least.
The lovely pearl spray is from The Trinket Track
The gorgeous flair , silver washi and silver sequins are from StudioFourteen40
Thank you for calling by . Wishing you all a wonderful weekend
I will leave you with the other photo I took that morning

Footnote : When my husband got home from work he asked me why I had glitter all over me. I didn't realize I have it on my face and neck. Yep it's everywhere !

I dont think you have used a better photo, how beautiful and wintery it is and your layout really has a cool feel to it with the colors and glitter.. love the use of the negative chevron chippie too.. beautiful layout..
This is such a gorgeous wintery page. Love the use of the chevron negative and the nylon ribbon. My Mum loved to cover coat hangers as well.......I have HEAPS of them and I treasure her handiwork.
LOL!!! I'm with you on the glitter...Sanna mixes it with clear drying glue....that way = no mess. I've not tried that. I used glitter embossing powder the other day. ERK! Enough said:):) This pic even makes me feel cold just looking at it! I think you've gotten 'the vibe' perfectly & I'm with Lizzy C...that chippy chevron.....CLEVER clogs!!!! And I looooved this mood board, but time has just about run out [never mind - thank goodness for NEXT MONTH!!!!]
Ha ha my dad said the same thing to me a few weeks ago about the glitter :) this is such a soft winter page, I love the colours & glad you are making the most of your mum's leftovers. Xx
