Wood You Be My Baby?

When I saw the wood paper with wonderfully weathered frames scattered on it, I knew it would make the perfect background to share my nephew's first month. I selected black & white photos and only one single colored photo to draw the focus.  Three of the frames were completely cut out and re-assembled with foam tape for a more dramatic 3D effect. Instead of filling all the frames with photos, two of them hold an embellishment.  Finally, I made some mini flags from ribbon and washi tape to cluster around the main photo.

A Closer Look:

 

 

Directions:

1. Use the PH 12x12 Woodgrain paper as the background. Cut out the centers of all the frames with a craft knife. Carefully align photos in three of the openings and adhere the photos to the back of the layout.

2. Assemble two non-photo frame inserts to emphasize your theme. Completely cut out the last three frames. Next, attach the layout to a sheet of scratch paper to add stability to the layout.

3. Fill the remaining loose frames with photos or themed diecuts. Embellish each frame with ribbon and re-attach it with foam tape. Wrap ribbon around one frame. Tie a simple knot and attach a charm around another frame and for the last frame, add a decorative bow.

4. Finally, embellish the main photo with a cluster of mini flags.
