Let it snow

We finally have "real" winter and snow here in my part of Norway. But brrr!, it has been cold the last couple of weeks: between -18C and -10C (0-10F). But I don't complain: I prefer the clean & cold snow over grey & dirty!

Snow means shoveling. As our roof is steep and slick, the snow on it usually comes down from it all at once - which means more shoveling. And of course the snow lands just outside the front door: that's what the journaling in this layout is about :-)

Cardstock & vellum: ClubScrap. Paint/modelling paste: Panduro. Mask: ClearSnaps: Alphas: American Crafts. Snowflake brads: Freckled Fawn. Dies: Life Style Crafts. Doilie: unknown

The January Take 5 Tuesday Challenge at Paper Issues, inpired me to make this layout. Here’s how it works: each month there will be a list of items to use as inspiration and starting point for your project. From that list, you pick 5 items to use on your project. From the January liste I picked color green, snowflake, die cut, paint, alpha sticker, title, cardstock and hand written journaling.

December Lights

 The jetty where I live, on a December aftenoon

Cardstock: Bazill. Alpha: Lily Bee. Button: October Afternoon. Patterned papers, silver snowflake & fiber: Unknown

Journaling says:" It's almost never white and pretty in December: the days are often grey and it's hardly any light even mid day. But then there are those beautiful days with the magic light you only have in December. Those days you remember that soltice is close and that winter soon is over."

The inspiration for this layout is from CSI Case File CC4:

How I solved the case:

*All colors used (the blue is in the button)
*Evidence: Stripes (paper stripes), snowflakes, silver metal, 3 of something (fiber), texture paste (small snow flakes)
Testimony: Winter writing prompt #11 (link on CSI page)
