How to build a snow angel

My first layout for the month of December is all about snowflakes!  Even though my daughter was married in June she still makes for a perfect snow angel.  And yes to those keen eyes out there this is a bit different than the links snap shot on the challenge sites.  Sometimes a layout will nag me and I just must readjust!  I hope you find it more appealing this way.  I sure do!



 Here is the base of my project. I do believe this is a Bo bunny paper but it has been in my stash a very long time and the information was cut off.  Brown card stock is the base and the next layer I used a lace punch on both  sides.  I used a coordinating strip down one side and some ecru lace for add dimension.
 Here are all the add on"s" minus a few I later found and used.
 Now I start the layering.
 I used nearly a full box of K & Company snowflakes for the veil.

Here I used a Tando Creative chipboard clock hand as a hinge. Zva pearls were added for flare. Tando is having a "Let's sparkle" challenge over at their site.  Please check it out!

 More Zva pearl swirls cascade down the veil.

 Lace was layered in from top to bottom.
She is my perfect snow angel.

Inkido was my inspiration for using snowflakes.
Scrap Around The World  has this lovely mood board which inspired me with the colors and the lovely lady.  I wanted to use the frames in a unique way by making the snowflakes the frame.

Lasting Memories  is also all about snowflakes this week.
Well, it is late here in Texas where the temperature has dropped below freezing and the rains fall gently on the land reeking havoc with the roads.  I pray that everyone who has to out in this weather stays safe.  Thank you for stopping by to see what the papers are saying today.
