Hello everyone,
Here is a first realization of the month of October, designed with the products from the “curiosities-in-willow-grove” collection by designer Vicki Boutin. The diversity of this collection stimulates creativity and offers multiple possibilities. This summer, we visited the ” Zoo de Beauval ” with our grandchildren; here are some souvenir photos.

This paper from the batch ‘curiosities-in-willow-grove-12×12-paper-pad’ inspired me with its circular pattern formed by branches. As well as the grid to give a documentary appearance to my layout. I make a pile under my photo using papers included in the “curiosities-in-willow-grove-journaling-bits-set-2” set. I love this document holder in the shape of a tag. Contrary to what one might think, these journaling embellishments can integrate harmoniously into a layout. I complete with labels containing words and phrases including this magnificent banner ‘MEMORIES’. And some flowers that I choose in pink tones to create contrast.

I liked these colorful frames that enhance the photos, and I add small labels for the documentary aspect. The word ‘love’ is a chipboard, and I also add flowers to create symmetry.

I finish by adding some spot patterns in rub-on transfers and hearts of different colors.
