Hello and Happy New Year to all!
I wish you all the best, for you and your loved ones!

A New Year means new challenges, and once again this year I'll be happy to host ten of them.



So, are you ready to play with me?

For this first challenge of the year, I'd like you to play with a seasonal element, at least in the northern hemisphere: the snowflake.

As well as representing the cold of winter, I feel that snowflakes bring lightness and some magic to our pages.


So, for this challenge all you have to do is:


• create a layout using snowflake as the main element
• use at least 5 different snowflakes. Feel free to mix several textures (brushes, stamps, scribbles, scatters, wood, wire, vellum, puffy paint, cut out, glitter, fold paper, crochet, cardboard, sticker, clay, thin plastic…)
• feel free to add other elements if you like, but be sure that the snowflakes are predominant. Duplicate them, stack them, put them wherever you can!
• have fun!

Here's a layout I created a few years ago, using my FROZEN | collection, which inspired this challenge




I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!

Have FUN!
