joy together.

This photo is from last Thanksgiving with my twin cousins were both home for Thanksgiving break. The picture is kind of dark so I wanted to use some of the Welcome Home collection from Carta Bella, because it has a dark, comforting, homey feel. Yet I also wanted to incorporate some of the bright, fun items from Bella Blvd's Illustrated Faith line, Gratitude Documented.

I die cut some leaf shapes with my Cricut and backed them with patterned papers from the Gratitude Documented paper pad.

I chose THIS sketch challenge from Scrap Our Stash. From the sketch on the right side, I chose to leave a huge block of white space and have my patterned paper and photo on the left side of my page.  From the sketch on the left, I followed the horizontal embellishment layering.

Here's my page:
