My blog hop partner was Deb Long. My twist was to add mists or paint. Here's the sketch she gave me -

I loved this sketch and the twist was right up my alley! So I used BOTH paint AND mists! The pictures are from Christmas Eve 2002 when we were at my parents’ house in Virginia for the holiday. It was the first white Christmas they’d had in over 30 years! I just love the effect the snowflakes had on the camera!

I used my Kreaxions Star Template and New Kreaxions Punch #312 to create my snowflakes. Then I used the Kreaxions Circle Cutter to cut out the center. I cut each snowflake in half and tucked them under the papers. They are sprayed with Glimmer Mist. I also used a stencil and Glimmer Mist to create the snowflake background paper at the top and bottom. The paint is a dauber paint that I used on the outside corners of my pictures to give them that ethereal effect. I used my circle cutter to create 1” circles which I cut in half for my scallops and cut the corners of my background paper with Kreaxions Punch #312 and Template C. I used all of the snowflake negatives for extra embellishments.
