AnnaLIFT 1/16/16 - 1/22/16

Page Title frozen fits my weather perfectly. As I gaze out into the gardens or venture outside,I see lots of frozen.. The winds howl,the snowflakes blow and I try to imagine the return of warmer seasons. When I was a young girl,there were so many fun winter activities to do. I remember skiing,sledding,skating,building snowmen, and all those other follies that occupy a young person. While I am not ready for the rag bag,I now shudder with the cold, look at snow as a beautiful bother and count the days until the temperature climbs and the buds begin to break open.I am glad for the memories of days passed,but I can make a lot of memories in better weather!!

I started with a solid paper from APP Glacial for my background paper.I selected the image and applied gradient blending.The image was placed at the lower left edge of the page.Then on separate layers,I used AnnaBlendz Artsy 6 brushes to create some color throughout the layout. I sampled colors from the image and paper. Next APP glacial transfer 2 was imported and placed on top of the background paper with the opacity reduced to 36%.Next I clipped a copy (image rotated vertically) of the image to the Framed FotoBlendz1_4 and gradient blending was used on that photo also. The stitches and LoopDaLoop were added next,size adjusted.I imported the psd files for MultiMedia Winter 2_4,5 next and placed those on the right side of the page,adjusting the size. Next I imported ArtsyTransfers Airy and copies of my image were clipped to various paint layers and transfers.ScriptTease Winter 1 was placed on the left side of the page.A button from the APP Glacial and wordArt from Winter WordART Mix 1 was placed above the button and the size was increased.
LOVE this! The birds will come. I love winter, and wish we'd get more snow and there would be this deep stuff and we'd have to run the snowblower and come in for hot chocolate. If it doesn't snow, I won't get the hot chocolate. We still have deep snow from last week and I'm already wanting more. I so prefer it to the endless brown.
 
This is a really wonderful representation of winter, I love the way you've used the word art (which looks like your tongue will stick to it :)) and the loop, and I really like your photo, even if it is something dead and frozen...it speaks volumes! Most of all I love your words, and share your feelings about the cold...you should put them on your page :)
 
It took me a little while to see the wood button under the word art (even with trifocals)--those little touches are so special. I love this layout, and I love your explanation in the comments. You don't journal much on your actual pages, though, and yet you have such a flair for journaling. I hope you're putting your thoughts on the back of your pages (or somewhere)--it would be a shame to lose them!
 
Beautiful portrayal of winter, love reading your comments, I'm with you on wanting some warmth!!
 
A beautiful look at winter-it truly has its own beauty which you have captured masterfully. You always find such a unique perspective of things and I truly enjoy seeing them through your eyes.
