"Gus" Papercraft Star Sketch Challenge Layout

This layout was created for the sketch challenge this week at Papercraft Star. I altered their idea a little to add another picture and some journaling. Sorry for the poor quality of picture- I tried to sneak outside between rain showers to get some decent light- that was a bad idea (see a few of the rain drops that snuck onto my paper? grrr) Anyway, this was my first project using my Gypsy. I welded the title using Don Juan "Gus" is the original font and "Fetch" is the "Under Pressure" feature. The dragonflies were cut using Gypsy Wanderings and the Cattails and weeds were cut from Life's a Beach at 2.25" I shaded an oval from George (again at 2.25") to create the water underneath.  The paw print is cut from Mickey & Friends (but I can't recall the size). The ribbon is American Crafts and the paper behind the title is one I've had for a while (sorry)
