Thailand Pages 22 & 23 Gate-fold

Here's another gate-fold spread.  This time, I chose DCWV papers from a mat stack called Once Upon a Time.  

Page 22:

As you can see, I chose to add a lot of photos to this layout.  I love the color match between photos and paper - and the glitter speaks to how beautiful these buildings would have been in their heyday.

Page 23 A&B (outside of gate-fold):

A matching paper was cut in half to create the gate fold pages.  

Page 23 CDE (inside of gate-fold):

Here is what you see when the gate-fold is opened.

Page 23 C & E:

Here I split another page from that DCWV set to create the side flaps that you see when opening the gate-fold.

Page 23 D:

This is the main center page that you see when opening the gate-fold.  I created the background page by combining the cut-out border from a couple of other pages and gluing them in place top and bottom of a third page.  I then used some paper from a Sarapapers set (old booklet of papers from HOTP) to mat the focal photo and the journaling and title.
