Text in Baskerville Old Face font reads: October 17, 2015 It was the most gorgeous October in my memory. We had a girl's weekend out at Patty's "cabin" in the Cle Elum woods.

Construction: I started with the Artsy Layered Template No 258. I added ArtPlay Palette Rudeneja Solid Paper #2 and increased the saturation for the background.
I used Artsy Transfers Rudeneja #3 & 5 and some ArtPlay Palette Rudeneja Transfers, replacing some of the template transfers. I changed the coloring of some of the transfers to a gold to better match my layout.
I added ArtsyEdge Frames No 2 #2 under the template’s frames, substituting Fotomask #2 from Stitched Template Pack No 1 #1, to which I clipped my photo. This created a more “grunge” look to the photo.
I clipped my other photos to the template’s frame masks, deleting one frame and moving the top frame.
I added the stitching from Stitched Template Pack No 1 #1, masking out some of the stitches, holes and shadows.
For the cluster, I used parts of the ArtPlay Palette Rudeneja elements with the title “Life” wood word from Change WordART Mix No. 1. I duplicated the wood word, used blend mode Linear Burn, and changed the color to better match my layout.
