Baby It’s Cold Outside! Michelle McClung
|
 |
As scrapbookers, we are always looking for photo opportunities so we can document, preserve memories, and make rockin’, artistic pages to
"OOOOO" and "AAAAH" over! Wintertime can be a wealth of photographic prospects which are not hard to find!
Since cold is synonymous with wintertime, it’s easy to demonstrate the temperatures of the season on layouts without having to state it; photos of people bundled up, red, rosy cheeks, and the use of cooler colors (as did the creators of the following layouts) such as blue, which is the most popular color to demonstrate cold temperatures.

notes:
I re-colored several
elements to match my daughter's hat and
scattered them to make the design more
interesting.

Journaling: Bianka, you loved snow and we, as all good parents, wanted to let you play outside as much as you could. But on that day we could walk no farther than a few yards away from the house. It was snowing really hard and was sooo cold! We were back home in just a few minutes. Call it a Saturday
walk!

Journaling:
We were so excited to see Niagara Falls, but
coming from a 30 degree summer, we were
naive about just how cold 'cold' was. The
guy who took our photo for us must have
thought we were honeymooners; little did he
know we were barely breathing from
hypothermia. Well at least we can say we
were there & saw it. We live & learn hey!

Niagra by Kim Watson. Supplies:

Leaves, Felt: Michael’s,
Tinkering Ink, Ink: Clearsnap, Other: sewing machine, lace, tag
off cushion, embroidery thread, vintage
ticket.
Design notes:
This page was about part of our Canadian trip to see Niagara; it was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen....except we almost froze to death out there. We did however see the funny side of the fact that we were half frozen, but enjoyed the awesome experience none the less.
I took my KI map paper & crushed up for texture...then stitched it onto my
craft base. It gave me the feeling of warmth as well a holiday feeling. I
was also determined to use a load of photos on the layout without using
'white- space, so printed out index size prints for a change. I still get a
feel for the outing without being crowded by nine images! The rest of the
layout I inked & layered & stitched & 3D'd with puff tape & enjoyed
immensely. A note: the Voyager tag at the top came off my travel flight
cushion...I kept it as a souvenir.

notes:
To give my paper a frosted
look I used an old paint brush and some
white paint. Check out the cute brads in the
snowflakes, an initial for each child.

Journaling:
Look at the three of you!
This is the first snow this year and you
love it. Your rosy Cheek show such joy. Each
of you have eaten more than a few handfuls
of snow and enjoyed pulling on the willow
branches to get showered with the white
stuff. Tannin you even started a snow ball
fight in the driveway. It is no small thing
to have such good friends from the day that
you are born. I hope that each of you know
how lucky you are.
