The August Fox Box Plus had just the perfect title for my layout of a visit to the Blue Mountains in Australia. Take the Photo fitted perfectly but the pieces in the box would suit many holiday destinations, here or further afield, tropical, outdoor or just back garden play!!!

I started with a sheet of pre-made mixed media paper, from a Vicki Boutin pad & cut apart the different blue areas & distressed the edges. I marked where these would go & added some watered down blue inks, around the edges & a few different background stamps over the top.

I lightly inked the stencil (out the Fox Box) over these areas, to add some depth. I adhered my 'mountains' adding foam tape under the tops of them for added dimension.

This was the perfect area to tuck in my 2 photos & those stunning pine trees which come in 3 different greens/blues & just the thing needed on my page.

I added a branding strip, at the top with some trim & adhered 2 geo tags to bring the eye down onto the photos.

I positioned my title down on the bottom right & added a sticker & alphas, out my stash, as sub titles to state where we were. A small embellishment cluster, around the title, gives it more pressence.
