This one of my favourite challenges for the scrapfactor contest as I hadn't done a double LO page in ages. The papers are mostly Cosmo Cricket - togetherness (love that range) but there is a little October afternoon in there as I didn't have enough yellow to go across the 2 pages. Ages ago I did a WOYWW and had some yellow and blue splattered card...in mind for this, but when I picked the photos and papers I realised read and brown paint worked better...so I splatter and stamped with various circular household items the background. I crinkled and ruffled and distressed all my papers and laced a bit with some more house hold string....to keep this impressively masculine and flower free (for me anyway) I used star bunting (cuttlebug 4 sizes of star die set) and hung it on little red buttons. A tim holtz ticket and american craft thickers for the title, some hidden journalling and this is what you get. Here are the close ups....
