Back When I Enjoyed Snow

This month's Pixels and Paper Challenge was to use this image as inspiration:

The funny part about this challenge coming up this month is that I had already planned on doing my Christmas in July theme when I saw that this too had a snowy feel. I chose to use the obvious white theme and then also pull in some of the blacks, navys, and browns that I saw.  I also thought the picture of me all bundled up in the snow seemed fitting for the inspiration photo as well.  I got to use a lot of pearl bling that I had been holding onto and had a lot of fun creating this page!

A Real Challenge

This month's Pixels and Paper challenge I realized I had paper that was almost the exact barn door in the picture (I used one side of it on my last scrapbook page) but I decided to try and push myself and not use it because it didn't really feel like a challenge if I did.  I instead used some old scrap paper and a bunch of bits I had stored away to make this page.  I kept the wood aspect with the lettering, used the green of the grass in the photo, and I made sure that I had a few distressed elements to match the photo as well.  I'm pleased with how it turned out.  Below is the inspiration photo and my page.  It was extremely hard to take a photo of the page because so many elements had an iridescent quality so the colors are off a little.  Sorry.  Otherwise, enjoy!
