Today's layouts are using the Colorbok in Truffle from my August Counterfeit Kit Page Set 5. I should have take a picture of the paper I used before I made my layouts.
I didn't want to cover up the birds on the sides of the paper so I cut the paper so that I could use them on either side and the left over piece is for the center two layouts. I wasn't planning on making 4 layouts but that is just the way it turned out.
I added a tan cardstock border and a punched border using the Martha Stewart Cherish punch. I was having a bit of an issue punching a clean border on the pattern paper so I add a piece of kraft cardstock behind and punched them together - this kraft border is now going into my bag to use on another layout.
Each page had a stamped and fussy cut image along with a button and the same yarn threaded through the button holes.
Each of the stamped images are on foam tape and the buttons are on a zot but are placed so that the photos can slide in behind them.
I alternated the stamped image on each page and they are stamped on a scrap of the tan cardstock I used for the photo mats.
Again I kept the pages pretty simple as these are going to my oldest - he will add photos and journaling.

Awww the layout turned out fantastic :)
Nice way to maximize that patterned paper. Someday I hope you will share their pages when they've decided about the photos! Would be fun to see what the men do with them :)
