Project 365: Wintry Stuff

Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Wintry Stuff

Frosty Moments

Journaling reads: It was a surprise to hear from Mark about an hour before I was due to leave the house to take the car for the appointed oil change, tire rotation and check for air leaks in the back two tires. I had not been outside yet and Mark told me to be careful driving on the road because there could be icy patches. I hurried outside with the camera to get pictures of the icy tree branches. It was beautiful. But, it was warming up and the ice was beginning to melt. I was glad there was no ice between our house and the garage!

Font is Arial Narrow

Photos are mine

My process (if you are interested)

I used the template, adding 2 different papers, blending them both together for the very background. Then I stretched the paint element behind the framed pictures to clip the larger photo to. I recolored the tree elements from the template. From there I added different pieces of the artsy transfers to the background adding the green and blue colors. I changed the word art and wordmix elements to white. I thought the bottom of the layout reminded me of an icy covered pond, so I added the skater element because of that. I had a great time picking out all of the elements, transfers, word art, etc for the layout!
