Bring on the snow! I just saw that we are allegedly about to get slammed with a snowstorm. I'm not a huge fan of cold weather, but I don't mind snowy days. Well, as long as I don't have to get out in it and I can just enjoy the view from the comfort of my warm and cozy home.
Supplies used - Cardstock: American Crafts and Simple Stories; Patterned paper, stickers, chipboard, foam words, enamel dots, & die cuts: Simple Stories; Flourish cut file: Silhouette Design Store, Echo Park #105094; Snowflake punches: unknown; Nuvo Drops: Tonic Studios; Embroidery floss: DMC; Computer font: Century Gothic
I love using different elements or designs to create movement on my layouts. It's a great way to really enhance a theme while adding detail and interest to your layout.
Falling snow is always something that comes to mind with Winter themed layouts and there are so many ways you can create that look.
For my layout I used a large flourish cut out of white cardstock to create the movement I wanted for some falling snowflakes.
Since I used the flourish on a busier background paper (I was envisioning a snow storm on the layout) I decided to also add some stitching on top of the flourish. This really helped that flourish stand out.
Then I added lots and lots of snowflakes along the flourish. I used a variety of sizes and textures and adhered them all with foam adhesive for lots of dimension.
Here a few more ideas for adding movement to special themes:
• Use arrows to lead to special details or to show the direction of movement.
• Add stitched lines that lead to an element. They can be straight, wavy, or loopy. With this idea you can create falling snowflakes or leaves or spiders dropping down from a web.
• Use your photos to show movement like a child running, jumping, swimming, etc. When you take your photos take a rapid-fire series of photos to show each step of movement. Then arrange them on your layout in order.
• Use a strip that leads to a shape or themed detail.
• Use shapes or themed elements that increase in size, drawing the eye from the smallest to the largest as you go across the page.

We've had a lot of questions, especially from the press who are normally not interested in link watches or don't cover auctions, says Ghotbi. link "Lagerfeld, Chanel, Fendi – I think all those names are bigger than Audemars Piguet. No disrespect to Audemars Piguet, but Lagerfeld is just such a bigger-than-life character. It's getting a lot of, let's say, curiosity. But will link this curiosity reflect in the sale price? We'll figure that out on Friday evening, after the sale."
In fact, link I loved all three of those Swatches so much that I never let them go. I link still have link them. They’re right here. Sitting on my desk next to me as I write. My young life. More than half a lifetime ago. In three Swatches.
