Such a fabulous take on the challenge! Wow, I so love that quote! I am a very outdoorsy/ nature gal too and that photo is calling me. Love the mountains, and that I am surrounded by them and all the lakes! Just a wonderful design and so into my FAVS!
Sonja....this is gorgeous. The photo is first rate. I love Mt Rainer too (from the bottom looking up). LOL! Thos snowflakes are terrific. You did so much work on this LO but it really paid off. Very well done!
I think I feel the need to go to the mountains and I am an ocean girl! If these are the layouts you are coming out with honey you shop shop shop your heart out. I can almost feel that mountain breeze right out of that photo!
Wow! Amazing. I LOVE that pic and all the detail you put into this is fab! I really like the way you did the cut out in the pp, I will need to do that!
Oh my this is just stunning!!!! I can see why you love to ski with breathtaking views like this waiting for you!!! Congrats on learning how to "weld!" The title work is just beautiful on this lo!!! I just love the masking, snowflakes and distressing!!! You'll have to let me know how you like Prima's new distressing tool. I've seen quite a few folks picking this tool up and using it with great results. Do you like it???
Very nice! Awesome picture and your masking is great!!! Even though we have lived near the mountains for the last 13 years - I have yet to try on a ski or snowboard. I'm not sure I'm cooridinated enough for that!
Beautiful lo and wonderful picture and masking! But I think you're crazy when it comes to the skiing! I grew up about 45 min from White Pass ski area. It was the first mountain I was on and I thought I was going to die. I'll stick to golf! Only people from the "city" went skiing!!!
For the Stalker Challenge over at Scraps of Darkness. The object was to stalk for a favorite quote and scrap it in a way that makes the viewer feel that quote. One of my all-time favorite quotes is by John Muir 'The mountains are calling and I must go...' I've already made clear I'm a very nature/earthy person. I grew up in Washington State where your never more than an hours' drive from mountains, including my favorite Mt. Rainier. In this case though, I felt the quote referred to my looove of skiing. I learned to ski on WA slopes and taught skiing for two years there. My heart just sings when I'm standing on top of a mountain getting ready to drop into a run of fresh powder. (I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it! *sigh*) This photo was taken at Mammoth Mtn in 2010. DH and I had season passes for three years there and typically went for 4-6 days at a time. It sometimes still amazes me to be skiing under crystal clear skies in California, but if you've ever skied a typical day in WA, you know what I mean! ;) Being pregnant and unable to ski, I'm sure I'm just really missing it, but I know in my heart I'll be back (w/ or w/o junior! LOL) It's in my blood and bones as it is in my dh's and just like the quote says, the mountains are calling... and I must go!
This is also for the Cricut Challenge (including twist!) I finally learned how to weld on my Gypsy and welded the word 'must' in the title. I also cut the white snowflakes using the Gypsy Wanderings. Also cut the blue piece using the Elegant Edges cart.
I used about 50/50 Scraps of Darkness goodies as well as some items from my stash - including the new doily punch I got! I debated cutting out myself from a black/white version of the photo and popping it up over the color photo, but it distracted from the beauty of the mountains so I nixed it. TFL!
