July Calendar Page

Welcome back! Today I have my July calendar page to share! I started with this sketch from Stick It Down:

I have a new Americana collection from Echo Park that I got to dig into for this layout. I used several of the 3x4 cards and created a few more from the patterned paper. I also used a couple of pieces of some other red, white and blue papers I have. Once those were all attached, I used my sewing machine to zig zag stitch all of the lines to add a little separation between the sections. I matted my big photo on a piece of pattened paper. I had one 3x4 card that had space for journaling, so I used that and stamped spots for journaling for each of the photos. For the title, I cut the word "July" using my Cricut from navy cardstock and chipboard and layered them together. Once they were attached to the layout, I used Glossy Accents and covered the word to give it some extra shine. I also used my Cricut to cut the stars from red and navy cardstock that I placed in a few places around the page. I finished off the layout with some sequins and Stickles for some sparkle.
