Winter Fun layout

I finished this layout just before Christmas, but it fits amazingly in Stuck On U Sketch's current challenge, the theme of which is coincidentally Winter Fun.

In a tropical country like mine, there is never snow in winter and, therefore, winter fun is never playing outside with the snow. My little daughter, who just knows snow through pictures and TV, was amazed when she saw some "fake" snow for the first time in a shopping center. She ENJOYED the trip on a small train around a Noel tree with a herd of reindeer beside so much that she cried for another ride. And she was quiet with amazement for a while staring at the fake snow and some snowmen.

The narrow strip on the top is a series of photos of her before and during the train journey. The bigger photo on the left is of her crying for one more ride. The one on the right is of her standing with surprise near a play area all covered with seemingly cotton snow.

On the remaining two blank boxes, I will write down as follows: In a tropical country like Vietnam, your winter fun is taking journeys around a Noel tree, looking at paper snowmen, and touching fake snow. All was Wonderland to you. Piccomall. 11/12/2011. (I actually typed these down, but have't printed them out to put onto the blank).

Here are some closer looks

These 2 die-cut images were cut out of Winter Woodland cartridge. The road covered with snow was made from tearing in half a 4'' by 12'' strip of paper embossed with the snowflake embossing folder.

I put some stickle on this snowflake.

Thank you for looking.
