This is snow...

A very hot day here today so it's an indoor one for me.
Maybe a dip in the pool at bit later this afternoon.
In the mean time I created my memory..
Another lasting 12 x 12 memory page for me of our
Queenstown trip...fabulous and most beautiful
part of the world...The South Island, we were
told by locals, have a huge hole in the ozone
layer so while there we had to wear a lot of
sunblock or get sunburnt...plans to do
the North Island soon.
I get excited about snow as I don't get it in my part of the world.

Gesso and snow texture paste through a stencil was
used, flicks of red watered paint and the "NZ"
was hand painted by myself.
The frame was done in Photoscape.

Preserving life's special memories is important
as life goes bye too quickly..

I can understand why you would cherish the snow Annie if it's not something seen too often. I swear when I was younger there seemed to be much more of it in the UK. A lovely scrapbook page of happy memories and moments.
Hugs for the day Tracey xx

Hi Annie,
We see snow every year in the Netherlands and it always has something like a fairytale, but it also brings inconveniences on the road, but also a lot of fun. What do you have, creatively indulged with your beautiful page! We have now stormy weather with lots of rain.

A fantastic page to keep those special memories Annie. I have to admit that although we get snow here in the UK (which we normally moan about), I did get excited when I saw the snow when we went to Canada a couple of years ago. I had never seen snow so deep before (it was about three foot) I do have photos somewhere so should probably do a page for them some when.

It is a lovely scrapbook page and the photos are wonderful.
Snow gets taken for granted as a weather situation in winter here, but I think I would miss it as well for the family memories it can make me think about.

A lovely page Annie, you obviously enjoyed the snow. Even though we get frequent snow, I still get a thrii when it first starts to fall.

GerJanne said...

I can imagine oyu enjoyed that snow! Especially because you don't get it in your part of the country/world. Your LO is a wonderful memory, I think.

Berina RGA said...

Such a lovely layout Annie!! A beautiful pic!

Conniecrafter said...

Love how you arranged the photos and the touch of texture for snow!

Leslie Miller said...

I get excited about snow, too. We get it maybe once a year, but not much of it and it melts off quickly. However, we don't have to drive far to find it. You look like you were having fun! Nice snowy effect on your page! Too bad about the ozone hole. I heard it was healing, but we must be diligent.

Lisa Lynn said...

Annie great page. I can't imagine not having or dealing with snow especially this year when we have an over abundance. Sure would love to ship you some....

Darlene said...

AWESOME layout my friend! I just LOVE seeing all these photos of you & Bill!! (miss you so!) I am anxiously awaiting warmer days but I'm sure you're tired of them (as I am the cold winter days here in Ohio, USA). Thanks for sharing such amazing designs, tips & tricks! I'm always excited to see what you have up your sleeve to share! BIG HUG

Bunny said...

What a cute page. I love the memories that you've captured. Especially when you rarely get snow. I can relate living in Florida. We are already running our air conditioner and it's only March.

I love the red and white striped bow you added to your memory page. Very cute. [Bunny]

Sharon Fritchman said...
