Pumpkin Fun Layout
GlueArts Designer: Jaime Warren

Supplies:
Glue Glider Pro
U Cut It 3D Adhesive Foam
We R Memory Keepers Autumn Splendor Scrapbook Pad
We R Memory Keepers Glitter Brads
We R Memory Keepers Embossed Designs Stickers

Instructions:
 First step is to layer the patterned paper. I score the sides and trim accordingly and then distress the edges just a bit. Then I attach with the Glue Glider Pro, centering the top sheet over the bottom sheet.

Then the fun starts! I group little clusters of embellishments around the edges of my layout - until it starts to feel "right" and balanced. Typically I use around 3 embellishments in a cluster, but for the main cluster I use more. Once I have my embellishment clusters in place I drop a few bits of mist on the paper! Then it's time to add my photos (for this layout I lined them up with my main embellishment cluster.)

 I loved the Pumpkin banner, so, I used it as part of my title by simply cutting it out and attaching it with U Cut It 3D Adhesive Foam! I finished my title off with the word "fun" and then drew my journaling lines. 

The finishing touch is a simple scalloped border around the edges to help "fill in" the layout!
