I also love this gorgeous layout by alandbri - I love the blending of the photo into the background and the smaller photos showing more detail - just beautiful

Here are her notes on this layout

This is one of many bridges in Portland. It really is a beautiful bridge and the arches underneath form a cathedral area where many weddings take place. I used Lauren's beautiful kits Natural Beauty and Natural Hues for this one. The colors of these kits are beautiful neutrals that compliment a variety of photos! These two kits can also be found together in the Natural Beauty Value Collection.
