One of my favorite things about scrapbooking is all the gadgets you get to play with.  This layout uses a lot of fun goodies, including printed vellum, Snowflake Brads by Creative Impressions, the Tim Holtz Scallops On The Edge Die, Distress ink in Broken China, the Sizzix Sizzlits Die Set 4PK Snowflakes, and Stardust Stickles.

A favorite trick of mine is to print the journaling onto a transparency, and then paint the edges to make a frame around it.  This time I painted with the Snow Cap Paint Dabber.

Those of us here in New England have had just about enough of winter by now.  A snowstorm a week for the first several weeks of the year and over 50″ of snow so far.  I just hope spring comes earlier than it did in 1988!

Here’s the journaling from this layout:

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Actually, it was a Spring wonderland.  New England has unseasonably cold weather in late March of 1988, which is why, even though spring had officially already arrived, we were able to take this walk on Macquan Pond.
