Journaling reads: It was a surprise to hear from Mark about an hour before I was due to leave the house to take the car for the appointed oil change, tire rotation and check for air leaks in the back two tires. I had not been outside yet and Mark told me to be careful driving on the road because there could be icy patches. I hurried outside with the camera to get pictures of the icy tree branches. It was beautiful. But, it was warming up and the ice was beginning to melt. I was glad there was no ice between our house and the garage!

I used the template, adding 2 different papers, blending them both together for the very background. Then I stretched the paint element behind the framed pictures to clip the larger photo to. I recolored the tree elements from the template. From there I added different pieces of the artsy transfers to the background adding the green and blue colors. I changed the word art and wordmix elements to white. I thought the bottom of the layout reminded me of an icy covered pond, so I added the skater element because of that. I had a great time picking out all of the elements, transfers, word art, etc for the layout!
