Moments Value Pack
I have no fixed process in my scrapping - sometimes it's a story, sometimes it's an aspect of life, sometimes a week review, sometimes, like here, it's just the highlights of a day of photos I really like presented in some freeform fashion.
Always, I start with photos, deciding which should be big and which small. The large photo captures the brilliant sun and cactus at our local Botanic Garden, which sponsored "Dogtoberfest" in the month of October, blended with Starry FotoBlendz from the Apothic Collection. I duplicated the FotoBlendz for coverage and duplicated a bunch of the stars and moved them around the page. When I moved the small photos to the other side, I liked the blocked approach, so stuck with that, using Artsy Kardz as mattes for two photos (sketches created with the MySketch app), frames for the others, then adding another framed photo on the right for balance. The banner was the first element I added, then created a cluster from ArtPlay Breathe Elements, and the Button Card because I like buttons and loved the color and cluster effect this created on the right.
Oh just to complete the day, I added a pre-sunset photo on the bottom with simple mask-and-eraser blending.

Everything goes together beautifully. Love the desaturated sketch effects and the 'color/cluster' you created.
 
This is a beautifully designed page! The cactus photo is a fantastic background for the wonderful smaller photos. The pre-sunset photo you blended in at the bottom is a pretty surprise that nicely finishes off the page.
 
Very cool page! Such a beautiful photo from the botanical garden! It took a minute to see the sunset photo that Bitzee mentioned, and all of a sudden there's a whole new depth to the page. I love the contrast between the desert garden and the ocean sunset.

Thank you so much! I didn't think about it before, but it's cool that only a couple miles separate the ocean and the desert garden.
 
Love your botanical garden photos. We have a restaurant in town that is in the middle of a cactus garden with over 300 types of cacti.

While I might prefer flower gardens, when in Rome ... and I have to admit cacti are fascinating, and I love their crazy forms witnessed against a brilliant blue sky :-)

Some flowering cacti are absolutely gorgeous. There’s a subtle beauty in the desert that takes you a while to appreciate. Took me a couple of years. Ha!
