July 4th Fun

Hi all, I have another new layout to share! My kids are all in school now, so I hope to have more time to scrap during the week going forward. 

I was inspired by a couple of challenges for this one. First up is the CSI challenge:

I was also inspired by the challenge at Lasting Memories with was to do a weaving technique. I started by finding patterned papers that matched the colors from the inspiration image. I then wove those strips together. Initially, i was going to have the weaving behind all the photos, but wanted mroe of the wood background paper to show, so I just used it as a mat for the two solo photos. I cut the title using the Cricut- once from red glitter cardstock and twice from white cardstock. I layered those up for dimension. I then found a red journaling spot and added that. It had cherries on it, which wasn't quite what I was going for, so I added a sticker over the cherries. I finished by embellishing the page with enamel dots, washi tape, a stamped tab, and a flair button.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my layout!
