Another wonderful challenge over at https://thestudiochallenges.blogspot.com/

I used a transparency on top and had a vertical photo. I used a very old Fancy Pants collection called Child's Play! So fun for kiddos!! There's a story behind the border...so I scrapped the page then noticed that green paper was inch or so short! LOL! So I had to add the border and then some ribbon, but that allowed for my journaling! I was wondering why it looked so small!! LOL!! TFL!!

I really like how it turned out and that paint splatter stamp is AWESOME!! So for the letters, I kinda struggled with this but...
