Get Moving- Sketches In Thyme

Hello, I have a new layout to share today! When this sketch was revealed at Sketches In Thyme last Friday, I knew I had to use it:

I pulled out these photos of my son at open gym several years ago and went to work. Since there are lots of primary colors in the photos, I looked for papers in the same color scheme. This is a great design for scraps since I just needed a couple of small squares and some strips. I roughed up the bottom edges of my strips for some texture. For my title, I used the "Boys Will Be Boys" Cricut font. Quick tip to get the spacing right for those small pieces of the letters: use the negative cut and glue the small pieces down through the openings that they were cut from. I also cut the letters from chipboard to give them dimension. I found coordinating arrows and cut those out for either side of my title. I then went to work finding embellishments. I used a couple of stickers, a die cut, wood veneers, and some enamel dots to finish off the layout.

 I did some hand journaling directly on one of the paper strips across the bottom so I am entering this in The Studio's handwritten journaling challenge.
