Hello scrappers!
First of all, I wish you a happy and healthy new year, better than 2023.
I'm excited to host the Winter season Challenge, and it's going to be simple.
I love winter, if we talk about winter in the traditional Russian sense, for example, as Pushkin wrote about it in his landscape lyrics: “Cold frost and sunshine: day of wonder!...”
But in the region where I live there is very little sun in winter. This applies not only to the length of the day, but also to cloud cover - sunny days in winter are very rare in our area, 80% of winter days will have a heavy, low gray sky. The length of the day, by the way, is also very short - in December the sun rises at approximately 9:00 am and sets at 16:00 - daylight hours are only 7 hours, less than a third of the day. For me, this is very unpleasant - you wake up in the morning, and everything around you is gray, you don’t even want to get out from under the blanket. In general, I would be happy to exchange our 5 months of winter (from November to March) for spring or summer.
The point of this verbal tirade is to introduce my challenge: create a design dedicated to your least favorite feature of the winter season where you live. You need to use at least one photo, one wordart/quote, be sure to include several elements: snowflakes, leaves, branches, brushes, paints; everything that fits the winter theme and tell us why you don’t like winter?

I used a collection called Frosty winter by et designs
I look forward to seeing how this challenge inspires you!
