I set out to create a relatively clean and simple layout as I wanted the focus to be on the photo and the journaling. It was kind of a letter to my brother with a photo of his beautiful little family so I didn't want to go over the top with papers and embellishments as he isn't that way inclined.
But as you can see... I went a little crazy with my forest because once I started sticking those little trees and critters down I just couldn't help myself and completely changed my original plan and made a forest instead of a small cluster.
TIP: Because I wanted to layer my embellishments with foam pop dots I used baby powder to remove the existing sticky adhesive from the pieces before attaching the new foam dots. It works like a charm and makes our layout smell like it's just had a bath.
