Autumn Scrapping

I have a number of kits by Lynne Anzelc Designs that I bought when Lynne designed under the name Aria Designs, and a few of her recent ones too! I've dusted them off and I'm having a play and I'm loving it :)

I created this layout and the gap left in the middle was just perfect for a poem!!! It didn't take me long to find myself writing the last verse :)

Created with the following beautiful kits by Lynne Anzelc Designs (when designing as Aria Designs): A Walk in the Woods, A Scrap of Art, Earthly Delights, Together, Yellow.

How to...
A layout with a central space is perfect for adding the written word to. This could be some journaling or as in this page a poem.

• I wanted to create a woodland effect so I started off with a paper that had trees blended into the background. This created the perfect base to begin layering on to.
• Around this I created a frame using two overlays. From this outer edge I've added the log, birds and leaves which add more depth to this.
• I positioned a bare branch and a leafy branch to "hold" the Autumn wording in place, which also turned out to be the title of my poem, and finished off by embellishing with the bird and butterfly.
• Next I wrote the poem, well it had to be a poem, didn't it!
• Finally I added the falling leaves to give more of that autumn feel, and to fill in any empty spaces.

I love how both the page and poem turned out and I have a couple of other projects with Lynne's kits underway :)
