I held back these July 4th photos when I was scrapping the rest of my July 2018 photos because I wanted to create and post my layout in July, so here is my layout at last. I started out with one of my sketches but, when I went to cut a large circle in red cardstock, I discovered that I already had the negative space from cutting out one previously, so I decided to make that my frame, and the inside of my circle became a patchwork of patterned paper scraps instead. Win, win as I used up lots of scraps from my stash and love how it looks! The Star-Spangled Banner sheet music was an image I found online and printed out on vellum so I could overlay it on the fireworks paper. I'm trying to learn to play it on the piano but not in this freakishly high key!
