We are Explorers by KAREN MOSS

Although, I don't like the dark nights I absolutely love Autumn and all the colours it brings and I think that the Vicki Boutin Print Shop range, paired with a little 49 and Market ephemera is the perfect combination to celebrate the lovely autumnal walks we enjoy.

I started this page by gutting a 1 in frame from a piece of black cardstock and kept the middle piece to use as photo mounts.

Next I trimmed .25" from the top and right of a piece of Print Shop - Pencil Me In, and stuck this to the black cardstock frame.

I fussy cut some flower clusters from Print Shop Flourish and four tags from Print Shop Tags.

I started to build my page by adding a 11.5" x 4" piece of Print Shop 4 x 6 (reverse side) to my page, .25" from the left and 3" from the top. I ensured I kept the adhesive from the top and bottom inch of the paper.

Above this paper strip. on the left, I added two Print Shop tags and a small manila one from my own stash, and then placed two Print Shop tags and a large manila one, just off centre, to the bottom of the strip. Next, I added the fussy-cut flowers and some wood leaves, from my own supplies, along the top of the strip.

I cut three pieces of Print Shop - Floral Display 3.25" square and three pieces of black card, very slightly smaller. I added the three pieces of Floral display, pink side showing, to the Print Shop 4 x 6 strip and the black card squares on top of these. Finally, I added my 3" square photos.

To complete my page I used the 'We are Explorers' and 'Always & Forever' phrases above my photos and 'Autumn Leaves' below - all were from Vintage Artistry - In The Leaves Ephemera Bits.
