Adorable, Awesome, Unique, Crazy, Love by KERRY MCINALLY

For my third layout I began as always by matting my photo, I used white cardstock, the blue floral from the Definitive patterned paper, and yellow gold cardstock. My photo measured 4x6 and my matts were slightly longer at the bottom, I tore the bottom edge and distressed each layer.

I trimmed a small amount from each side of the Juicy Fruit paper, again distressed the edges and mounted onto the blue cardstock provided.

I positioned my photo at a slight angle in the top left of the wreath paper. Next I looked at the words side of the Definitive patterned paper and chose words that I thought were appropriate for the photo, I cut these out leaving in the star of heart icons, again I distressed the edges and lay them out next to the photo so the longest words were near the top and worked downwards to the smallest word…which is of course the most important one!

Then I began to embellish the page. I used the tassel banner from the embellishments provided underneath my photo. I also used a piece of frame and gold heart from the specialty paper provided. I cut out some flowers and leaves from the Lush Blooms paper - I curled the edges of these to make them stand up from the page. I also cut out some butterflies from a banner piece on the cut a part sheet, a few hearts and the phrase "perfectly wonderful". I arranged these around the page.
