Dan Patch Days- Take 2

Hello again! I have another new layout to share. My kids have COVID, so I'm hiding in my craft room to try to avoid it so I'm getting some scrapping done!

This layout started with this sketch from Paper Issues:

I started by trimming my photos to 3x3 so I could make a single column on my page. I then found the paint stripe patterned paper. I trimmed that down to create the illusion of the frame suggested by the sketch. I decided to add some smooshing of the same colors down the right side of the photos so I went to work finding ink colors in my stash that matched my patterned paper. The little swatch book I made a while back was very helpful here because I was able to match the stamped color to the patterned paper. I ended up with a mix of inks from Distress, Stampin Up, and ColorBox. I am very happy with how well they ended up matching the colors of the patterned paper. While that dried, I fussy cut the circles, hearts and popcicles from patterned paper from this collection. I punched the flowers and stars from scraps. I stamped some stars over the smooshing in white, which ended up not showing up very well. I added the pieces I had fussy cut with regular adhesive and a couple of thicknesses of foam adhesive. I stamped the title with a darker turquoise color, along with the journaling lines. Since there were touched of black in the patterned paper circles, I wrote my journaling with a black pen. To finish off my layout, I used some enamel dots and a couple of canvas flair buttons.

 I am also entering this in the Walk in the Park challenge at Lasting Memories.
