'WINTER' layout Published in Scrap365

Hello my lovelies
today I am sharing a layout I had published in Scrap365 November 2013
my brief was to create a Winter layout 
Winter is a fave time of the year for me ...
I used the beautiful Maja Design paper Collection to create with 
Fika - Våffla m björnbärssylt  and Björnbarskakor - bs
I added pops of Kraft and White Bazzill 

'WINTER' 
Winter :
  Crisp clean air and the crunch of frost under foot. Dewy shadows that never dry out and the lichen glowing green and grey on dark trunks.
 It was not until I was in my thirties that I experienced my first sight of snow . Wow !!!
Such a magical miracle of nature and the hidden jewels of Winter. 
 This pic was taken while spending time in The Snowy Mountains in Victoria Australia in 1980’s era .
 Near a little country town called Bright .
Winter is a wonderful time of the year.  The circle represents the circle of life and the changing seasons. The white is the snow and for me the purple is about the color of intuition and the way nature intuitively knows about regeneration. Winter  is a time to reflect, a time of hibernation from life’s distractions, fireside gatherings,  the beanie, scarf, coat and woolly socks ..  toast from the burning embers and a mug of something warm and nourishing . Winter is a time which reminds me that nature is still very much in control .
I feel This beautiful paper from  Maja Design is absolutely perfect to showcase a winter theme .



lots of tags and dies to embellish this LO .
thanks for popping by my blog and looking at my work . 
I am so grateful you take the time to leave me some love. 
you make my day
until next time
