Step 1: Use the rust patterned paper as the base for this layout.

Step 2: Cut a piece from the white patterned paper to measure 10-1/2″ x 10-1/2″ and adhere it to the layout at an angle.

Step 3: Cut a piece of the dark brown paper to measure 10″ x 10″. 

Step 4: Cut ten strips from various patterned papers to measure 12″ x 1/2″. Adhere all of them to the dark brown paper at an angle. Using All-Purpose Scissors, trim away any excess paper. Adhere the dark brown piece to the layout.

Step 5: Punch four medallions from tan patterned paper using the Medallion Punch. Cut them in half using the 12-inch Trimmer. Adhere the halves to the top and bottom edges of the dark brown paper using the Tape Runner and Repositionable adhesive.

Step 6: Cut a piece from the tan patterned paper to measure 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″. Cut it in half from corner to corner, creating two triangles. Place one triangle behind the upper left corner of one photo and the other triangle behind the upper right corner of another photo.
