SNOWBIRD

*snowbird*

This month I have been a lucky girl.  The Pink Ninjas asked me to guest for them using their May kit, Scarlet Begonias (which is a lovely kit of red, yellow and green).  If you missed it you can see my first layout for them HERE, and of course on the Pink Ninjas blog : )

For this layout, I wanted to use these instax I took while in Snowbird, on the first day it snowed while we were there (there was already lots of snow when we arrived).  I had just got out of an early morning Tai Chi class, and decided to catch some of the magic that comes with Springtime snow.  It just so happens that this lovely day was also my sister, Amber's birthday.....how perfect is that!?!  I had a blast slowly walking back to the lodge (from another building, in my shorts no less), snapping away (with both my cameras) at all this soft, fluffy white stuff.  And when it came time to put a layout together these were the first photos I thought of.  Most recently, I have been using spray paint on the background of my layouts, but for some reason watercolor felt better for this page.  Maybe it's because that's what snow looks like after it's melted and dripping down the side of a wall.....who knows!?  Anyways, it was really fun, and there were so many yummy things to layer, it made this kit is super easy to work with.....which is always nice : )  Have an awesome week peoples!  <3 Carrie
