Initially, I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with this layout, so I just kept playing around with it and having fun! Once I figured out my papers, I got pretty creative with the embellishing. The USS Enterprise was cut out in Cricut Design Space using an image I found online, and the insignia was also an online image that I printed out, and then I layered a ton of gold embossing powder over the top before cutting it out. The die-cut/stamped planet and the gold star brads entered the mix last as part of the Festive Friday challenge for World Space Week (see below).

Challenges: Lasting Memories #617 Out of Your Comfort Zone - Embellishments (I use a lot of store bought embellishments, so this time I added a homemade one - the Star Trek insignia - as described above. It didn't come out perfect but I like it enough that I may try this again!); Festive Friday #118 (used stars, planet, rocket, ink blending, and brads)
Wow...Great details to document the event.
