I wasn't too sure about this color scheme when I started but in the end, I think it came together. I tried to create that warm candle glow using vellum with embossed golden swirls. I was inspired by the elaborate details on the Christmas cookies which is reflected in the fine detail on the floral medallion doily that I think looks like snowflakes. I even pulled out my ancient border punches to add texture and create a lace-like appearance. Finally, I added a bit of twinkle with a few small gems. The photo is my high school senior yearbook photo which was certainly a time of big dreams and possibilities. I chose the left side of the sketch challenge and rotated it quarter right. I used more than 8 types of supplies: 5 papers, ribbon, gems, roses, stickers, border punch, embossed texture, chipboard, & corner punch.

I think these colours are gorgeous and aren't ones I would normally put together but may have too in the future. The photo itself is beautiful and I love all the different layers and textures you've put together behind it. There is so much to look at but they all go together. So wonderful to see your talent again at TIME OUT!

Wow! You got a lot of challenges in one layout! I definitely get a candle glow from the colors. I like how you used the dollies as snowflakes instead of a more rigid interpretation.
