A Winter's Day

Isn't it strange to post a winter layout when I can hear my neighbor's lawn mower?  I guess I am a bit behind. 

I am starting to really use up some things I have had forever, and what I wanted to use was a ton of little October Afternoon labels.  When I like a product, I buy it ALL.  So I probably have like ten sheets of these labels.  And while I still love them, I need a little room on my clip it up.  I decided to layer some of them to the left of my photo.  I took it the day after some freezing rain, and the pine boughs were weighed down with ice.

I often listed to Paul Simon on Pandora, and coincidentally, "I am a rock" came on---a line starts... "a winter's day, in a deep and dark December".  I would've used the whole line but I took the picture in February and I am TRYING to be honest here folks :)  Seriously, I love getting my page titles from song lyrics. 

Here is a little closeup of my embellishments and labels. 

You can also see how I colored around the labels with some light blue watercolor pencil, and then spread it around a little bit with a wet brush!

Very simple layout in terms of photos and embellishments, but every once in awhile, I capture something beautiful about the season that lasts six months where I love...winter!

Hope everyone has some fair weather this weekend!

Thanks for stopping by:)
