Just Keep Swimming

Hello! I have a new layout to share today! I started with this sketch from Scrap Our Stash:

I was originally going to make the sketch the left hand page of a two page layout, but once I had the photos laid out, there was a lot of blank space, so I started to play with them on one page. I ended up liking that idea, so I went with it. As you can see, I kept many of the elements of the sketch, I just added four more photos. I started with the Cocoa Vanilla striped paper and found some coordinating papers. For the sun, I used a circle mask and blended Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide ink (my blending brush had some green in it, so it changed the color of the ink a bit). I then used some banner stamps to create the rays from the sun. I wanted the true Fossilized Amber color in the sun, so I found a texture stamp and stamped that over the circle mask. For the title, I found a cut file on Cricut Design Space. To embellish my page, I used some Elle's Studio stamps, stickers, ribbon, canvas flair, and enamel dots.

 Thanks for stopping by!
