Rebecca Ludens
To get started, design the background of your layout. Here Piggy Tales Henny Penny and Acorn papers were used from their Chicken Little collection. The base is a solid blue with a 4 inch stripe added across the middle. The circle was traced onto the patterned paper using a CD as a template. The photo mats are 3 inch squares. The flower embellishments were cut from extra pieces of the patterned paper.
