Whimsical Musings #272 be inspired by national dress.
In June, 1984 our precious Aunie took us on a British Isles tour to celebrate Greg's college graduation. I scrapped the trip in its own album long ago but remembered this photo of all of us in our new Irish togs - Greg got an Aran black sheep wool cardigan, I got a traditional Aran pullover (knit by Mrs. Galvin, according to the tag!) and Aunie chose a beautiful plaid wool wraparound kilt skirt. The photo was snapped in front of the woolen mill.
I checked on my "Scrap Inspiration" Pinterest board & found this for a scraplift:

Here's my take:
My background paper is 2017 Echo Park/Go. See. Explore. "Let's Fly Away".
All alphas are from my zealously guarded October Afternoon stash.
The green stripe is 2015 OA/Summertime "Fresh Fruit" b-side.
The orange xoxo pattern is 2017 Pink Fresh Studio/Live More "Honest" b-side.
I included the stitching detail along the edges & punched a few tiny hearts for shamrocks.

I made the Xs & Os with colors from the flag of Ireland to reinforce the national theme.
