Thanks for the challenge! Had a fun time with this one but had to resist using the kit's really messy paper!
I used Paula Kesselring's Winter Wishes: Papers # 5. Elements 9 and 41. Paula Kesselring's Winter Wonderland Collab: Mwords 19 and 16, papers 1 and 10. Little Butterfly Wings Mask Magic, mask 10. On a side note, the snow in front of my house looks like a butt and now all I can think about is the scene from Forrest Gump.
Always a delicate balance... like Sharron I want my photos to be the first thing you see. Elements should enhance the photos and not overpower them as I see so often.i also feel elements should have something to do with the subject matter. My use of flowers is very judicious! That said my pages are usually pretty full I think. This will take time finding things but should not be difficult for me... much better than minimalist!!!
I filled as much as possible with either photos or elements and HAD a blasT ever the overachiever...go double page to get the whole evening done!
