Winter Sun

I marvel at the many sizes, shapes and colors of the winter sun. There are so many variations! For example, do you believe how HUGE the sun looks in the photo below?


One day in early February as I was strolling through our neighborhood, I found a couple sitting on a park bench watching the sun set. This was such an usual sight to see in winter that I had to take a picture! Check it out in my layout below. I've posted both the individual pages as well as the full 2-page layout.

What unusual sights have you seen lately?

That is a Lovely SUN! It is amazing how HUGE it looks, larger than the bus!

what a beautiful 2 page layout you did! I love all those curled frames. Especially with the glitter on them...

Thanks for following the Angels blog! I really appreciate the comments and knowing that my tutorial worked. I hope you didn't have to play with it tooo much to get it to work in your program! I wish I know how to use more the PS so I could do tuts for all.

Thanks again and I will be back to see more of your fantastic LO's.

BTW - that sunset one is absolutely fantastic! Love the colors which match the sunset so well.
