Morning Friends, thank you for taking a look at my blog post and layout.

This is my first layout using the fantastic August fox box.

This fox box has beautiful colours and a wonderful summery theme to it.

I have also used Holy Moly, Stencil #61 and pom pom trim from the shop. I love these extra little bits, they make embellishing really easy.

I began this layout by trimming 1.5 cms off the top and one side of my A4 cardstock then matted it onto a patterned, pink paper.

I gutted this before sticking it so that I could use the same pink paper in my layout.

Next, I worked on my background. I used stencil #61 and Nuevo paste to add texture and interest to the background.

I started to fussycut florals. I chose papers that had lots of pink in them so that they would match the trousers that my daughter is wearing in the photo.

I used repositional glue on the back of my florals and stuck them onto the layout.

I wanted to use these as a guide as my plan was to have two main clusters.

I cut some strips of paper and tucked them into the floral clusters.

Once I was happy with where they were, I stuck them down with permanent glue.

I matted my photo and added this to the top cluster.

At this point, I felt that my layout needed more texture.

So I added some strips of pom-pom trim. This made all the difference to the visual effect of the layout. Giving it both dimension and the pop of colour that it needed.
