Hello crafty friends, Zsoka Marko here sharing my last layout with you for this year! WOW how fast this year went by again... I can't even believe it! This layout was inspired by my uber talented DT peer, Steffi Ried. I actually was going to flat out copy hers because I loved it so much, but when I was working on it, the layout just kept changing lol.
This tree Paper 07 is one of my favorites in Paige's Truly Grateful collection, it's such a sweet and colorful design. For a long time I had no idea what photo I could use with it, but then we went biking in the forest one weekend and it just all made sense.

I fussy cut all the trees, layered them up, and glued them together along the middle so I could bend up the sides to create dimension. In retrospect, I could have added colorful hand stitching to the branches but I didn't think of it at the time.

I chose polka dot paper from the B-side of Paper 17 for my background and I added a wide strip of green paper from the B-side of Paper 03 as a reference to the forest. I added a few layers of tissue paper behind my photo then tucked it all in behind some trees. I didn't add a whole lot of embellishments: a date label, an Epoxy Sticker bird, and a die cut banner from the Ephemera Die Cuts around my photo as well as Epoxy Sticker dots in between the trees. For my title I chose one of the Epoxy Sticker phrases because I love the font so much! It would have been a shame not to use it! I wrote my journaling next to the title, kind of filling up the empty space there.
