Icycles and Snow

I had a lot of fun doing today's layout.  Got to work with pictures of my favorite little boy (my grandson naturally!!) and used circles as a feature, which I've never done before.  I was able to use this layout in two challenges:  my team-mate in the Swirlydoos Round Robin 

used circles in her layout, which I was to "lift",

and there was a challenge at the Flying Unicorn to make circles your focal point.

I used a lot of different techniques on this: distressing, misting,

sewing (somewhat crooked lol), inking.

 

The ruffle around the picture was made using Tim Holtz's tissure tape.  I like how it doesn't stick permanently and can be re-positioned as you're working with it.

 

These hanging icycles came from a bargain I found at Michael's ... YAY... love bargains!!

 

50% off!!  :)

 

 

I added some tissue tape to this chipboard, inked the edges, and had the perfect backing for a title:

 

 

And then the final touch, that no layout can be without .... flowers

 

 

Love Timmy's Tattered Pointsettia die.  Making the flowers was so quick and easy with it!  Add some shots of Tattered Angels "Scarlet" glimmer mist and pearl beads, and we were done.

 

Season's Greetings to all!
