I started by cutting a piece of cream cardstock to 4x11 inches and inking the edges green.

I also cut a piece of Garden paper to 9x2 inches.

[Kimandasmo]

lined both of these up on thePicnic table paper along with my photos..I did not adhere them at this point... I was just checking size. I had to trim down the width of my pictures a little bit to make them fit the page. But you could leave them at 4x6.

I next cut a greren strip of cs 1 inch wide and 12 inches long and the used my edge punch on it..
I lined it up with the edge of the pictures, trimmed it to stop at the top of the pics and the bottom of the paper and then adhered everything in place.

My next step was to start embellishing the layout. I started with a piece from thelabel stickers and placed it on the left hand side of the layout wher the photos and the cream paper and the green strip meet.

I then used an and sign from thealpahbet stickers and words from the word stickers to create a cluster..

My step was to work on a journaling area. I used one of the journaling cards that I matted in a mactching green cs.



and placed it in the center of the page on the bottom .

Next step was to embellish it a little bit. I used a flower fromt he accent stickers page.

in the bottom right corner of the card then I added some of leaf stickers around it like this..

Next I cut the tail off the kite sticker and placed it on the right hand side of the title block, and topped it with a flower.



At this point I started working on my title..I used a label sticker directly below the first cluster and added some October Afternoon letter stickers for the first half of my title.

using another label sticker and the same letter stickers I placed another portion of title on the right hand side of the layout bordering on the kite tail then used the Alphabet stickers to creat the center of my title



I then finished off my title with some Thickers.

My next step was to add some extra bling to the layout. I used 2 word stickers ont he left had side of the page.





I then added some stickles to different areas around the layout.






As a final touch I added some bling along the left hand side..

[Kimandasmo]

The last step is add some journaling to the journaling block. here again is the completed layout and sketch...
