The Good Life {Kew Gardens} Layout for LM #820

This week, the challenge from Lasting Memories design team member Wendy is to use three rectangles on our layout. This was a no-brainer for me, as I wanted to use a bunch of rectangular photos. I pulled out an old sketch and got to work, adding a few photo mats (also rectangles) to create some separation between the photos. If you would like to play along, click on the link above and show us your rectangles!

Here's a close-up of the title and some detail on the photo mats. For the photo mats, I matted my photos but then folded over one end of the patterned paper so you can see the pattern on the reverse. I punched holes and inserted eyelets in them to thread the twine through and tie into bows. Haven't used this technique in forever, so I'm glad I remembered it!
