Lasting Memories Post 3--A Day at the Museum

Hello all! I'm serving as a Guest Designer for Lasting Memories all through October! I'll be posting an extra layout each Sunday at noon for the next 2 weeks. Each is following the weekly challenge posted at Lasting Memories and I hope you join the challenge! Post your version through the link at the bottom of their post.

Still from my New Mexico trip in October 2019, this layout features a museum I went to near Santa Fe. My NPTC friend Robbie lives near there so we met to get a few stamps, and this museum covers 2 different trails. Some of the displays were lovely examples of colonial life such as furniture and religious icons. Then there was the display of Paul Pletka's art. Some of which I found quite disturbing. I told Robbie that it was her fault if I had nightmares after seeing that gallery!



Today's challenge is LM #724  - Harvest - be inspired by those growing crops by using ascending sizes of paper strips or shapes OR use a colorful ombre design. I used a sketch from Cheryl Even for this layout. I had remnants from several collections here but the floral print is some of the last of the Creative Memories Mexico theme pack. the cactus border is from that pack as well and I cut it in half to spread across the layout. I liked this sketch as it had room for a large 5x7 photo. I inadvertently made that size when I stitched 2 photos together to show the living space all at once. The outside of the museum is a postcard I purchased in their gift shop.
