dreaming of winter

it appears my new trend has been to blog on a monthly basis! it has been that kind of a month. a good month. just a very busy one. in fact this blog post is partly a procrastination from the work i'm supposed to be doing. there is a pile of marking with my name on it. i tried to pawn it off on the kids in my class today {jokingly} and they were ready to help me out. if only they could!

sigh.
on to my show and tell....

the colour for November is white. i was very excited about planning this one. the only disappointment was that there was not a single company who sold an only white pattern paper. aren't these big designers following my blog and keeping up with my plans this year?! haha!!



the beauty of this design is that the students can add any colour of photo to the layout and the design will work perfectly. if any of the ladies were fortunate to be out photographing the scenery after this last snow, they should have some lovely options. even some winter foliage and blooms will look so pretty. family photos? i can't wait to hear the ideas tossed around or the photos brought to class.



lots of texture. in a variety of techniques.



i debated to even add a title. after it was cut out and laid on top, i was totally sold on the idea.



this is my favourite poinsettia on the page. it looks even better in real life!



this little tree has a surprise. ooohhh! i cannot wait to see the reaction. i know it is not a new product to some of the ladies....but they may have forgotten about it?! i can think of a few other uses for it, and i'm certain there will be more ideas shared in class.



and more poinsettias!



this little embellishment was the hardest to photograph. in fact it looks like a mess right now! trust me that it is much better to view in person.
