Lasting Memories Guest Designer Week 3 (Francis Scott Key Memorial Park)

Hello everyone! I'm guest designing for Lasting Memories throughout September! I'll be sharing an extra layout every Sunday at noon for the next 2 weeks (and I encourage you to go back to review the last 2 weeks). Each one follows the weekly challenge posted at Lasting Memories, and I encourage you to join the challenge! Post your version using the link at the bottom of their post.

For this post, we are jumping ahead in the NPTC convention again. On Monday, we had a 2nd bus tour, and one of the stops was the Old Stone House in Georgetown. Though managed by the Rock Creek Park unit, the land isn't technically part of that park. However, nearby is Francis Scott Key Memorial Park, which IS. It was located close by where our bus was parked, so when we were done at the house, one of the Rangers walked us back to the bus, stopping at the park long enough for a few photos. 

This week, the Lasting Moments challenge is to use floral paper. I turned to CM's Spring Medley pack. The background floral paper had been used previously, and all that remained was a 1" wide frame. I found a piece of blush cardstock that matched the tone of the stones in the photos and trimmed that to 11". I found a sketch that I had saved and used it to finish filling in the elements. The green leafy print is also from Spring Medley. It's 6" x 9". I trimmed the statue's close-up photo to 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" and then matted it on a piece of blue paper from the collection. A few stickers and a journal box finished the layout.
