I chose the classic black and white movie, It's a Wonderful Life starring Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey. In the movie, George Bailey has so many problems he is thinking about ending it all - and it's Christmas! As the angels discuss George, we see his life in flashback. As George is about to jump from a bridge, he ends up rescuing his guardian angel, Clarence - who then shows George what his town would have looked like if it hadn't been for all his good deeds over the years.
For this challenge I want you to use a black and white photo. If you don't have a black and white photo, you can create a black and white monochromatic layout.
There's a quote near the end of the movie by ZuZu Bailey, “Look daddy, teacher says, every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings,” Your challenge is to include a bell, rings, angel or something with wings on your layout.
Here's my layout.
Bonus challenge. Create a card or tag with the scraps.
