Explore - More Than Words July Challenge

Hi everyone!  Hope you are enjoying the weekend!  I've been doing my best to stay indoors.  It's been extremely hot and humid. I've got a layout to share that I created for the July Challenge at 

More Than Words.  

You  must incorporate the word explore along with arrows in your project.

I live in a rural area just outside of the city.  My house sits on 5 1/2 acres of land and it is normal to see lots of wildlife.  Deer, rabbits, foxes and the occasional coyote.  I was watching rabbits hop around the other day looking for food.  It made me wonder what is is like for a animal to explore their surroundings.  I came across the photo I used on Pinterest.  Thought the mouse was the cutest little thing.  Couldn't help but wonder what he/she was out and about for.

I found some old letter stickers in my stash along with some metal arrows.

I used several pieces of chipboard from 2Crafty Chipboard to created a scene around the picture.  I embossed the Avery Vines, Mini Branches and Viney Frame Circles with various shades of green embossing powders.  I thought the Viney Frame Circle looked like a continuous line of arrows.

Added this additional title from 2Crafty Chipboard Arrow Word Set.  I applied some Prima Art Stones around the base and sides of the picture and added some brown and green microbeads.

Thanks for stopping by!
