2012 Winter

Using pewter grid paper, I created a 2-page layout depicting my favorite signs of winter--and they all started, for some reason with the letter S.  For the letters and numbers, I used off-white glitter stickers mounted on charcoal grey 1" squares.  The embellishments were:  a white snowflake striplet and a white snowman CornerStone (they were a little too white, so I lightly rubbed on grey ink.).  They were also mounted on charcoal cardstock.   "COOL WINTER WEAR FOR THE WELL BUNDLED FAMILY" was a Tami stamp (black), and I outlined the off-white block.  I matted the picture of the grandchildren on red, because I wanted it to be the main focal point.   To set off the entire layout, I randomly applied a clear matte glue to the   the outside edges and sprinkled on Mica Flakes.  Some of them stayed on the pics and resulted in a great "snowy" look overall (hard to see in the example, but looks much more like snow than glitter would).
