A Winter Walk

After yesterdays sunny page, here's one from the Christmas holidays 2009.

It's odd to think that after so many mild festive seasons we have had 2 on the run that were really cold. Not much snow in 2009, but severe enough frost to freeze the local ponds in the country park solid. Katie and I were too nervous to step more than a couple of feet onto the ice, but some crazy children were cycling on it.

This page was designed by Amanda at the Exhall crop, I added the bit of lace i found in my stash, and cut the buttons as an extra embellishment using the embossing Martha Stewart punch, such a useful tool . The pattern at the bottom is made using a card mask made with another deep edge Martha Stewart punch and blue ink, I then sprayed over with some Glimmer mist.

I managed to get this weeks challenge done for UKS, a very complicated one involving way too many choices for me, might post it later in the week. My brother is home from London again today, so am looking forward to seeing him again :)
