From Glacier to River, A view of a Lost Iceage

A snap shot of the kids "gazing" down  vally to Gletch

(not very visible but in the 3rd " top window"

on the rail in front of the kids)

on the west side of Furka Pass at 2400m

This is where the  river Rhone starts it's journey to the 

Mediteranian Sea

On the eastern side the melting glacier gives "birth" 

to the river Rhine

  Above is a photo of The Rhone Glacier from 1857

taken from Gletch and up. Where the glacier start

cascading  over the edge and down the vally is the level of 

wher the kids are sitting looking down. You can just about 

see the road to the right on the old photo, leading up to

where the Hotel Belveder  was built in 1882 

Here is the glacier with the Belveder Hotel 

so still a lot of ice after 1882

 This is what it looks like today, no glacier

I know, this was supposed to be about a LO,

but a reminder to us all about global warming 

and how visible it is :(

Back to the LO, a few close ups

I made my journaling in a small book held by the

Scarecrow

The  Wild Ibex(Wild goat) was bought 

at the  Furka Glacier shop

here a close up 

 I used a lot of buttons on this LO, one is of the alpine 

flower Edelweiss (bottom right)

A few bits and bobs

Prima flowers, TH die cuts, Pebbles Inc text ribbon,
Dylusion Ink spray London Blue, Acrylic paint,

Pink Paislee tag, G45  Wizard of Oz paper,

a small coke bottle button from Dress it Up

Anonyme Scrappere # 47

Utfordringen hos "Anonyme Scrappere #47" er

 3 FRISKE FARGER 

Valgte å bruke et mønstrete blomster ark som bakgrunn, som  er ganske så 

friskt i fargene. Det er ikke ofte jeg bruker slikt som bakgrunn, men tok sjansen likevel  ;P

This challenge from "Anonyme Scrappere #47"

Was to use  3Vibrant Colours

It's not very often I use brigth coloured paper as background

but I  took the chance and chose this as it goes well with the challenge. 

Under er noen nær bilder

A few close up photos

I looked on the PC to find some colour ful pictures, and found this 

from a holiday 3 years back

The background paper I have had for a long time, but not sure about origin. 

After decideing where to put the picture i marked  hard on  inside of the picture line

and turned the paper back to front and cut into where the opening was going to be,
for then to start tearing it towards the marked line. When tuned to front again
all the blue  from the  backside had now created a frame,

 I  then glued on the picture from the backside to fit into it.

I gave it a few go's with gesso on bubble wrap for some more effects
and folde in the right bottom corner and made a fake background for journaling.

Flowers are from Prima: Essentials Pettals Sun Kiss
