Winter?

It's mid-December in Massachusetts, and we haven't had more than a dusting of snow. It was in the 50's today. I bet it will hit us with a vengence in January or something, but for now, it's unseasonably warm.

Here is a digital layout I created from a photo I took out of my front door last February. This was for a challenge at Scrapbooker Online about what winter means to me. I love all the snow, I am definitely more of a winter person than a summer person. I'll take the snow over heat and humidity any day.

Cheap and Easy Holiday Decor

I wanted to create a new decoration for our front door this year. I have unique requirements because there is not much space between our front door and storm door, and anything more than about 1.5 inches gets squashed. The other problem is that we are south facing, and the front of our house bakes in the sun. So nothing flammable or meltable can be used.

I posted on Two Peas asking for ideas, and I knew Mojito would come through for me. She linked me to her own 5-minute wreath, and I adapted it for what I had on hand.

Rather than purchasing a wreath frame, I took a wire coat hanger and pulled it into a circle with the hook at the top (built in hanger!). I then wrapped 2 strands of tinsel around the frame and tucked in the ends. (I believe the tinsel were 15' lengths). I added the ribbon bow, and I was done. Total time, less than ten minutes.

Everyday Digital Scrapbooking!

I have been asked by Julie Ann Shahin to join the Creative Team at the Everyday Digital Scrapbooking blog! I am really excited about this opportunity. I consider myself a beginner when it comes to digital scrapbooking, but I have a lot of ideas for tutorials to "demystify" digi techniques and I hope that I can get others to embrace technology in their scrapbooking.

Thank you Julie Ann for this opportunity!
