Did this journal page the other day when it first started snowing....it set me thinking. I remember when we had lots of snow, when I was a child and the schools never closed. Don't know whether global warming is to blame about the weather at the moment or not, it's up for you to decide yourself. I'm a very sceptical person I'm afraid.
Used Dylusions spray inks for the background, the fence is from one of T!m's On the Edge dies which I've used Claudine Hellmuths acrylic paints to get a peeled paint effect, the melting snowman is from the Octopode Facgtory.
Well, had more snow today, more forecast, so what better excuse than to tuck up warm in my craft room and do a bit of crafting.
Have a good day.
Fabulous Ann, very creative love the way you have chopped his head off and brill idea with the fence.
ReplyDeleteGlobal warming, just been told that Russia is experiencing the warmest winter ever and we have got their freezing conditions!!!!!!

Could do with some warming this week, it is freezing! lol Perhaps we should pop over to Russia?? Everything seems to come to a stand still as soon as we see snow nowadays.
ReplyDeleteFantastic pages, love the snowman and fence they are great, trying to work out how you have done the tree.
Hope to see you soon. Love Lynne xx
Apparently it's really warm for November in Chicago!! I never got a day off school for snow either, we just walked (as normal) through the snow..... It's all down to health and safety I reckon. Stay safe! (Great journal, btw!)
ReplyDeleteWow, oh wow! I LOVE this Ann! The peeled paint effect on the fence is brilliant! And I love your Octopode snowman - classic.
ReplyDeleteI'm not liking this snow at all...it's ok if you don't have to DO stuff, like go out in it! But its only water after all....they should put it in MASSIVE storage vats and transport it over seas to places where there are droughts...x x x
I know the contry stops, Im marooned, marooned love the page fab cold colours brrrrrr x sue x
ReplyDeleteI also remember as a kid school never closing. We all had to get to work too, my Dad always made me walk... looks like i'll have to be walking to work again for a while... Just had a month off with whiplash and now gonna get frost bite too...
ReplyDeleteFantastic journal page.... xoxox Ann

ReplyDeleteLove it, loving the headless snowman, and the fence. I never got a day off school for snow either, kids today don't know how lucky they are. I'll be walking to work in the morning, don't mind though, not sure about the walking back, not looking forward to that. Love Sandra x
ReplyDeleteLove it Ann!!! What fun we had when we where little and the school closed!!! lol remember using black bags and bread trays for our sledges very up market we where as kids but soooooo much fun!!! Hope you are well Love Chanelle xxxx
ReplyDeletelove it ann, and the altered snoman is hilarious, cuddle up warm and craft to your hearts delight, I finally started xmas cards yesterday, oops
ReplyDeletelove the page Ann... I lived in the Lake District for a while as a child and had to walk to school through snow, no days off for us!!! hope you are looking after yourself. Ciao xxxx
ReplyDeleteFab page! I remember being off school for about a week when we had loads of snow and the school boiler broke down, but then I also remember being taken into the school hall to lie down on the PE mats during heatwaves!
ReplyDeleteAnother winner, the peeled paint effect is just right. Perhaps you could do a step by step? Keep warm. X C
ReplyDeletelove the snowman and the fence, very fun! The schools never closed fornus either and we lived close so we always had to go. I liked school though, sad I know. K x
ReplyDeleteI can remember getting into school many years ago - as a teacher, well after 9, in the snow and the two or three local teachers had about 200 kiddiwinks in the school hall having a sing-song and a video and thinking what(the hell)shall we do next? Then they all went out to build snowmen and we spent the rest of the morning with lots of steaming socks and gloves on the radiators!
ReplyDeletewe didnt have time of school either, we played in the playground and built snowmen. i guess health and safety wouldn't like that: too dangerous! i wish i was stuck in my craft room. i love the random look to this page
ReplyDeleteFabulous page Ann, love the colours and all the details ;-) I'm with you on the Global Warming thing, we may be contributing but as history has shown the earth changes drastically over time without any help from us.
ReplyDeleteAs for schools not closing when we were young, most people didn't have cars and we used to walk everywhere didn't we? with occasional bus rides LOL
