Rainbow Shirts Revisited

Today, we are finishing our visit to Glen Echo Park for the 2021 NPTC convention picnic. Before the convention started, I posted a request that people wear their 2020 Virtual Convention shirt to the picnic. This isn't terribly unusual — we typically wear the prior year's shirts on Fridays. But my request included a participation request that everyone get in rainbow order, so I could get a group photo. I was thrilled at how many people came over for the photo. Just outside of our picnic area was a set of risers. I'm not sure why they were there, but they were the perfect way to bring everyone together for the photo. 



I created this layout based on this idea from the CM Blog. I wanted something a little fancier than a plain white background, so I decided to create one. The small squares are made with a CM Border Maker punch and then adhered diagonally across the page. It was a LOT of punching, but it was worth the effort. In addition to this are the diamond shapes created with the CM Custom Cutting System. Since that filled the space with so much color, I journaled on some of the plain white Write Strips.
