I used the Glorious Garden Counterfeit Kit for these layouts.  I had two sheets each of circle and woodgrain paper so I used a sheet of each to make a double page layout in 12x12 and 8 1/2x 11 for the guys. All of the papers have been inked in the gathered twigs distress ink.

I made a couple of embellishment clusters for this layout. I cut the sentiment from the Home Basics paper pad, used a photo frame die cut leftover from another project and added a punched border and label.

 

I kept the 4x6 photo mats on the 8 1/2"x11" layout, just shrunk the paper size down and moved the element cluster to the other side.

I made a sheet of different words using different fonts. This embellishment cluster used "good stuff" along with more of the punched borders, a couple of pennants and twine.

Instead of 4 4x4 photo spots I have a 4x6 and a 2x4 for each row.

 

I had a little bit of paper scraps left over so I used them on a project life page that can be sandwiched in between the two layouts

. I kept the pages fairly simple using the paper as borders, pennants and punching borders.
