Step 3: Cut a 1/2″ x 12″ strip of green ivy from the vine-covered cobblestone wall paper. Cut remaining paper to 10″ wide, then add the 1/2″ x 12″ green ivy strip to the left side of paper. Adhere paper on top of purple grapes base page.

Step 4: Using the Personal Trimmer, crop photos to 3-3/4″ x 5-3/4″. Cut two 4″ x 6″ photo mats from the corks paper with the 12-inch Trimmer. Adhere photos onto mats with a Tape Runner, then mount on layout as shown.

Step 6: Use the Grape Bunch Punch to punch three circles/grape bunches from the spilled wine texture paper and two from the cork texture paper. Adhere five sets of three circles together with the 2-1/4″ sage circles on the bottom and then alternating the cork and spilled wine circles and the spilled wine and cork grape bunch circles. Adhere the five layered circles vertically beside the photos, alternating the angle of the grape design as shown.
