Scrapping Stamper - June Sketch

Here is the June sketch from the Scrapping Stamper:

What a fun sketch!  Shannon mentioned that she designed this sketch with the summer sun or July fireworks in mind.  I had no summer pictures to scrap, nor did I have three photos in those approximate sizes that would work together.  I ended up using the one photo- the group picture I took on New Year's Eve. 

I'm not sure how I feel about this layout.  It doesn't feel like me.  This is the first time I've ever painted directly on cardstock.  I love how quick and easy it was to make a journaling space, but I'm not sure I can deal with how messy it seems.  I'm rethinking whether I should have painted behind the photo too (again- not my usual crisp and clean look).  I'm glad I tried a new-to-me technique and I'm glad that the sketch pushed me out of my comfort zone.

You can see what the rest of the Design Team did with the sketch here.

    Fabulous LO, Cindy. Great idea to use the sketch for New Years. It lends itself perfectly for that! Love the way the paint looks on your page! ~ Blessings

    I like that you tried a new technique, but I agree that the painting doesn't have the typical crisp look I associate with your layouts.
