JYC 2010: December 8

Sights of the season is the prompt, so on the right I adherd photos I've been taking the previous days. On the left I started by watercoloring an image but when I positioned it on my page, I thought that it lacked something.
While I was thinking how to incorporate it in my layout, I had the idea to transform it to a view from a window so I positioned the image on a white paper and cut around it so as to make a kind of shutters. Then I colored them with my copics and distress inks. I adhered it on my page leaving the shutters free to move and then I thought that it needed something more, so I added the tiny curtain on top!
Behind it there is a pocket for my journaling card.

I also used Ranger's Perfect Pearls for some shine.

Can you believe that we're only 14 days away from christmas?
