Snow Finally...

We have not had significant snow here in WI in about 280 something days. I may be off a lil but today was such a surprise. We finally have snow! It looks so pretty coming down on the trees and ground but once it gets slippery, slushy, and muddy it's a wrap! I hate it! I hate driving in it. I pray all the way to my destination that God will protect us-me from hitting someone else and from someone else from hitting us.

So after I got the kids from school and grabbed something to eat they wanted to play in the snow. So I had to pull out the real winter wear and let them have fun. The pictures aren't great but I'm sure I will have more chances but since it was the first snow, I will edit them the best I can and make do! I want to document this memory.




I used Picasa to edit. I used the Cross Process filter and then layered the 1960's filter over it. I love how it turned out



I also finished this layout last night.

Pure Cuteness


The background paper is Basic Gray Orange Whip, I used Tattered Angels Aquamarine and Crafters Workshop 12/12 Circle Explosion template-sorry the misting is hard to see. I stitched on the top and the bottom of the layout and added aqua and pink floss. I made the banner behind the picture with 5th & frolic Cozy Court. I used a scrap of Basic Gray Fine China and EK Dandelion Burst and mounted on top of the banner. I anchored the photo with a scrap of paper and added a rub-on on from Basic Gray Hopscotch. The letter stickers are Glitz Designs Tiffany Blue. A the bottom I added a scrap of On Trend and a blue button. Thanks for looking.

    1. I was able to get the kids and get home safely on Tuesday. We have rain now, so hopefully no measurable snow will come. But then it gets cold and the water freezes.

    1. Well it's very non existent now! LOL its raining. We were expecting about 4-6 inches in Milwaukee, I don't think we will get that. Thanks on the layout love. I will have another post later tonight.
