1. Use a solid sheet of 12 x 12 cardstock as a background.

2. Cut a piece of cardstock to 11 x 11. Cut four pieces of ribbon and fold each ribbon over the corners of the patterned paper, gluing them in place. Adhere the paper to the solid cardstock.

3. Trim the photos and paint around the edge of each photo, using white paint and the Pom Pom Applicator and Pom Poms. This step is important in the photo collage at the bottom of the layout; it helps define the individual pictures.

4. Mat the large main photo on a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 piece of cardstock, allowing the bottom edge of the photo to extend beyond the mat edge, and attach to the upper portion of the layout, just left of center. Layer chipboard stickers on the photo. Put the top sticker with a white border and place on top of the other sticker.

5. Layer and attach the 6 smaller photos horizontally to the bottom half of the layout.

6. Adhere six different flowers in pairs so that the bottom flower creates a shadow effect. Center the flower pairs and evenly space between the main photo and the right edge of the background paper. Stamp your journaling on the cardstock embellishments with red ink.
