The Good Life by KAREN MOSS

Earlier in the month there were two big events in our household, our 40th wedding anniversary and my 70th birthday (how did that happen?) As I actually got married on my birthday, we celebrated both with a weekend away, with our northern family. One thing I wanted to do was to visit the British Iron Work Centre for one of their famous afternoon teas and a walk around the sculpture park.

As we took so many photos I have made an interactive page layout to accommodate them.

I chose a 12 x 12 sheet of paper from Stamperia's Herbarium Silvae range and a corresponding page from the Junk Journal pack. Using a 12" x .5" strip of paper I made a hinge and fixed them both together on the right side of each paper. I used journaling blocks and squares cut from a page of windows, both from the Junk Journal pad, for my journaling and photo mounts.

To decorate my pages, I used a combination of Stamperia's The Owls House rub-ons and die-cut ephemera, along with stickers, die-cuts from the Herbarium Silvae Junk Journal pack and die-cuts from the Herbarium Silvae ephemera pack .
