highlight of today.

One of the reasons I prefer all inclusive resorts is that it's basically an open bar! Drinks and food are included. You don't even have to think.

This page was inspired by sketch 194 at Sketch N Scrap.  Instead of three larger photos like the sketch, I used four smaller ones. I used really small photos; they were Snapchat photos so they were shaped oddly anyway. I arranged them in a loose grid design. I kept the paper placement of the sketch similar, except I used 3x4 journal cards instead of strips of paper.

I used a free cut file from Paper Issues to cut some drinks for embellishments. I backed them with the beautiful watercolor paper from the Craft Consortium 6x6 paper pad. I tucked a couple of die cuts and added some sequins to finish my page.

Initially I didn't think I could pull off a monochromatic page... it's one of the February challenges at Paper Issues. I really surprised myself with this one!

There's a process video for this one too :)

Thanks for looking!
