dragons lair design team scrapbook page for Cinnamon Spice

This is a scrapbook page using the lovely Dragons lair Cinnamon Spice collection  , just launched this month.
find these on the Dragons Lair shop here http://dragonslairdesigns.com/shop/
and the Face Book fan page here,  https://www.facebook.com/groups/636646656454888/


I started with a 12x12 green background. See below photo to see the
First additions, the cream patterned paper I added the frame with leaves on to
It before I printed it to save too much cutting out. This and the lovely rust coloured
Striped paper was liberally spritzed with orangy gold and pearly white.



I printed all the elements I wanted and cut them out, these too were spritzed
See photo below

I then added the chosen photo from my Grand Canyon trek in 2009
And my additions above.
