Hey everyone! I’m excited to share a new layout I created using the fabulous Simple Vintage Woodlands collection. My daughter recently went on her very first Duke of Edinburgh Expedition hike, so this collection was absolutely perfect for those photos!

I was inspired by a circle on one of the journaling spots, which led me to design the layout around a circular theme. I cut a circle from one of the patterned papers, then layered it with a larger open circle in a contrasting colour. I distressed the edges of both before mounting them onto a white background.

That white background was then mounted on another patterned paper, a cross-hatch design, which is definitely one of my favourite patterns!

For the photo, I placed it over the original journaling spot, mostly covering the circle but leaving the hiking boots, compass, and binoculars visible. I layered it with a large piece of ephemera, two tags from the Tags Elements paper tied with ribbon, and some lovely Floral Bits.

My title, “into the woods,” comes from the Bits & Pieces and is raised on foam pads to add some dimension.

To finish, I added beautiful butterflies clustered at the top right of the circles, balanced everything with a narrow strip at the bottom, and scattered a few phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers, hearts, Decorative Brads, and some black paint splatters.

Thanks so much for joining me today, and happy scrapping!
