Copper Canyon 2 layout — *Layout by **Melissa Ullmann**, Creative Memories Design Team Contributor*

Step 1: Use dark teal designer paper for the base of the layout.

Step 2: Using the light aqua designer paper with the Jumbo Circle-CCS pattern, cut on the outside with the red blade. Adhere the circle to the layout base, centered.

Step 3: Using a 12″ x 12″ piece of the brown/aqua grunge designer paper, cut out the center leaving a 3/4″ frame. Cut the frame into fourths.

Step 4: Using a pencil and ruler, draw horizontal pencil lines across the layout at 5-7/8″ and 6-1/8″.

Step 5: Using a pencil and ruler, draw vertical pencil lines across the layout at 5-7/8″ and 6-1/8″. Place the corners from the fourths of the frame along the pencil lines so that there is 1/4″ in between vertically and horizontally. Trim off any excess along the edges with a scissors.

Step 6: Using the CCS-large circle cut a circle from the aqua designer paper on the outside with the red blade. Cut into fourths. Adhere a fourth of the circle in each corner of the layout.

Step 7: From the dark rust designer paper, cut four strips that measure 3-1/2″ x 1″. Place along the 45-degree line with the point at the top cutting line, then cut. Flip over and repeat. Place each segment over the fourth of the circles in the corner, lining up with the edges of the paper.

Step 8: Using the rust designer paper, cut four photo mats that measure 4″ x 4″. Adhere slightly overlapping the frame pieces.

Step 9: Using Hot Fudge Solid Cardstock with the inside of the large CCS-circle and the green blade cut a circle.

Step 10: Using the beige and aqua designer paper, cut a circle using the inside of the large CCS-circle and the blue blade.

Step 11: Adhere to the cardstock circle then adhere to the center of the layout using Foam Squares.

Step 12: Using the teal border stickers, adhere along the strips in each corner of the layout, trimming with a scissors.

Step 13: Adhere the remaining stickers to the center of the layout, layering some with Foam Squares for additional dimension.

Step 14: Journal as desired!
