April Calendar Page- Stick It Down

Hello, can you believe it's almost April!? I have my calendar page for April ready to share, just is time! I started with the sketch from Stick It Down:

I needed a few more spots for photos, so instead of the four photos on the right hand page, I made a photo collage. I moved the title to above my photos since I placed my photos a little lower. My title is chipboard letters that didn't match, so I covered them with matching patterned paper- it's a quick way to make what you have work! This is a great sketch to use with scraps since you don't need a lot of each paper. I typed my journaling and printed it and the cut it into strips. To embellish the page, I fussy cut a bunch of flowers from the floral pattered paper I used on the right hand page. I tried to connect them to flowers in the paper to make it look like the flowers were growing up over my photos. I attached some of the flowers with foam adhesive for a bit of dimension. To finish off the page, I used light green Nuvo drops and made some swirls and dots around my page. I had a little mishap and set my hand in some wet drops and then set it on the family photo under my title. We are currently out of printer ink, but I will replace it when we get the ink. 

Thanks for stopping by to check out my layout!
