Fortissimo - ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday July 4th DT Reveal

Today I would like to share my layout for the ScrapMuch? Sketch-y Friday July 4th DT Reveal. Since it is the Friday following July 1st - Canada's birthday, I wanted to do another Canadian themed layout.


These pictures were taken a few years ago when we had the pleasure of seeing Fortissimo - The Band of the Ceremonial Guard on the grounds of the Parliment Building in Ottawa! It was a fabulous sight and pleasure to the ears!

Here are some closeups....




I wanted to keep my embellishing fairly simple to not take away from the photos.

Products used - Paper by MME & Fancy Pants. I cut my tag from Pebbles Inc Journal Card. The banner is Heidi Swapp and I colored it with Powder Puff Chalking Ink in Marashino Cherry. Embellishments - Canada Button by Dress It Up, Bakers Twine by WeR Memory Keepers, Maple Leaf  by Mistables by Mister Hueys and the brads are from my stash. Lettering by MME - Dear Santa and Authentique - Petite Type Square.

Here is Laura's fabulous two page sketch....


Be sure to link up your layouts before the end of July for a chance at a prize!

I also was inspired by Lasting Memories Layout Challenges - LM #196 - Bannerific to use a banner on my layout.

And.....Red Carpet Studio #73 to create a patriotic themed project.

Stay crafty!!!

    Sandy, this is a great page! You managed to find some great Canada embellies without being over the top, and kept it very classy. And yes, my eye was drawn to the pictures. Great job!
