Beautiful by KAREN MOSS

Last year, our daughter and her then fiancée, attended several weddings and he was best man for a very close friend. Consequently, I have lots of photos when they were dressed in their finery and felt this one was too good not to use.

When I looked through the pieces from the Alena Laser Cut Outs I was particularly drawn to this 'church window' shape and thought it would be perfect to lay over a photo to give the feel that they were looking through a window. I then decided that it would be fun to add a 'window box' below the photo.

I started with a piece of Alena Alluring Moments and used some flowers and butterflies, from Alena Rub-Ons, to fill in the places on the paper that I felt were empty spaces.

I printed my photo 3in x 6in and added it behind the window, trimming where it extended over the edges. This was placed centrally on my page with the large foliage laser cut out on the right of the photo.

To make my 'window box. I added three pieces of lace border below the window and then added some flowers from my own supplies and flowers from a pack of Royal Posies - Mango.

On the left of my photo I made a large cluster using pieces from Alena Ephemera Bits (flowers with the border trimmed away), Alena Laser Cut Outs and Alena Chipboard Pieces.
