Scrapbook page

 Hi Everyone, we woke to snow this morning a rare occurrence for us, so it was as the poet J.P Priestly said  -

" The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of world and wake up in another quite different."

It certainly was for us, first thing before I did anything, it was out with the camera and step outside in my nightie and -2C to take photos of the garden and the beautiful site before me, crazy? Yep! but so glad I did, as before lunch, half had melted and gone, there is still a layering of about 2 inches in most parts and the road is covered. I'm hoping hubby can still go get his vaccination on Tuesday. 

Of course it had to be recorded and I did, by using just 2 photos. I made a digital scrapbook page, I had the template in my files and I thought it so apt, not only for the snow, but Covid circumstances too.

I know quite a few of you have had snow and probably more than us, but this is my record of our snow. Looking at the mountain that is in front of us and our garden. It seems as if my header predicted it for us!

A super layout Faith, fabulous photographs - I think I would have taken them through the window though!
We only had a light sprinkling of snow here, it was a chilly walk with the dogs.

Snow always looks so peaceful to me, especially right after it falls, when it is still untouched! You've made a beautiful layout with the photos Faith. The colors really work so nicely together.

A very beautiful scrapbook page! Very brave of you to venture out in yuor nightie! We didn't get it until yesterday lunchtime onwards but then it froze overnight and it was minus 3 this morning. I've decided to leave the shopping until tomorrow

A beautiful scrapbooking page, Faith. What a lovely view you have of the mountain. We had snow too, but most of it was gone by lunchtime. xx

Maria said...

Oh, such a lovely layout! Beautiful photos of the snow and mountains! Wonderful color and great design, too! We are due for some snow and ice this evening into tomorrow.

Love, love, love this scrapbook page Faith!! The photo's are so mystical and magical! Your sentiments are perfect for the snow and for the current events for sure. I also agree with the quote, as you can go to bed in one kind of world and wake up in another. So true. It is snowing here now, just starting as I let Maverick out to potty and I saw some flakes starting. Right about the time they said it would start, 8 pm. I just got home from the pharmacy and grocery store, so glad it waited for me to get home. lol Hope hubby got his shot in spite of the snow. My brother and sister used to go out barefooted when it snowed and would run around the house and then back inside! So, no you aren't crazy out there in your nighty! lol Hugs, Brenda

This is such a nice page. I've just started scrapbooking again - back to my roots. With my first grandbaby now 2 months old, I want to create for him. I love the simplicity and focus of your design. I'm going to try to copy this design. Thanks for the inspiration!

Totally love your pictures & layout, Faith! Lucky to have some snow as it does make the world look beautiful. Hope your hubby got his vaccine & hope we can get it soon! Thanks for the condolences. You know how hard it is to loose a sibling.

Shirley Young said...

A great layout Faith really does justice to your photos, not sure I would been brave enough to go out there in my nightie though xx

What a fabulous page Faith and the wording just sums up 2020. Lovely photos too. The snow is always gorgeous to look out at, and it does look like a magical world.
Hope your Hubby manages to get for his vaccination, Kate x

This is such an inspiring page Faith! The thing that stops me from scrapbooking is getting the photos printed and sized - and I don't even have a printer any more!! Maybe I should get going with some digital layouts. I totally know that feeling of something magical having happened when it snows overnight. I didn't go out in my nightie (don't want to scare the neighbours!) but I got ready in a rush like a child. Eva too - she couldn't wait! Vicky x

That is a beautiful page Faith. Loving the colours and your stitched lettering. We did get one morning of snow then just freezing cold weather which left it all crunchy and slippery! Was finally glad to get some rain today to clear the ground!!

Great to capture the snow Faith and to record it. The colours and the photos on your layout are fabulous x. All sorts of weather up our way x.

your garden looks so pretty covered in snow! the layout is wonderful!

Aimeslee Winans said...

Faith, what a perfect digi layout for your photos. Your garden looks like a magical frozen fairyland, so pretty. I did not realize you live so close to mountain ranges, are those the Highlands or the Gambrian? I forgot what city you live nearby. So happy you got some magic and hope hubby gets his shot! XOX

What a fun page with great photos. Loving those big letters and colors too!

Hetty said...

I love 'seeing' snow - I just don't want to live where any of it is going to fall into my garden. lol Lovely photos, my friend, and I hope nothing got frost bitten when you were out in the elements in your nightgown. :-D
