January 13: In a Mirror

Found the perfect outdoor mirrors in my neighborhood today.

 

We decided to take a break from school and go take some pictures at the lake for this challenge. The only mirror to fit in the car was this little hand mirror. Had a fun MommaDaughter walk!

 

Thanks for the challenge! This was a real "challenge" for me because I'm running on a hotspot. I couldn't get any of my pictures to upload. I FINALLY got this picture, that I liked, a picture of one of my candles in front of my hand held mirror and my layout is about "quietness" and solitude, which is what candles represent to me.

This was a great challenge. I have plenty of mirrors in my house and I took a bunch of photos and totally enjoyed it. The problem came when it was time to scrap the photos. It took me a looong time to figure out how to scrap it. I finally came up with this idea and I'm happy with it...at last. Thank you @tkradtke, for forcing me to stretch my imagination and creativity.

 

Thought I might not make this- we don't have any mirrors in our home except over bathroom vanity. Umm, that wouldn't work! LOL! Very foggy day made this tree really interesting, at least to me!

 

I LOVE mirror pictures!

 

I took a bajillion pictures tonight, but I was rushed and not many came out the way I hoped. I despise the dreary cloudy and dark evening in the winter in Michigan. I still ended up with a few fun ones. I would go out and take more in the dark, but we took the outside Christmas lights down tonight. Boo!

This was very difficult. However, like all the other challenges - we prevail, right??

Many!...But In The End...I Really Only Liked 1!...& I Had To Do A Lot Of Work On That One To Get It To Look Decently Good!...So It Was A Spaced Theme Layout!...That Part I Didn't Mind...But It Took So Long To Edit The Photo!...Then I Had To Create The Layout!...And Then I Had To Recolor & Cut The Pieces For The Space Elements...They Were Perfect!...But Totally The Wrong Colors!...Again It Took Forever To Get Them Just Right!...I'm Just Tired Now Of Dealing With This Layout!...I Still See Flaws In It!...As I Look At It!...But It's Done Now & I'm Done With This Layout Too!...Moving On...But To 2 Other Challenges I Can't Seem To Wrap My Mind Around!...

I used the mirror top of a vanity table in my bathroom. I had the thought that the snowman on the serving tray that I photographed was taking a selfie! I had fun with this challenge - thanks for the encouragement to be creative.

 

Here is mine

 

Not going to lie, my photo didn't come out exactly how I intended but I took what I could get with two unpredictable toddler models. Snow White was my first thought when I saw the challenge so I ran with it - my girls don't need an excuse to dress up as a princess.

 

my take...
