Boost Your Main Photo

Design by Robyn Werlich

1. Layer the large piece of multicolor rings/pink solid paper (rings side up) over a 12"-wide scrap of pink cardstock (not included); then attach to form a 12x12" background. About 4" from the bottom, add three photos—one 2-1/2x3-3/4" and one 2x3-3/4" on the left, and one 2-1/2x3-3/4" on the right—leaving space for the journaling and main photo.
 

2. Print journaling on a scrap of pink cardstock (Robyn’s text block measures about 1-3/4x3-1/4"). Trim the scrap to 3x3-3/4", leaving a space for an accent beside the text. Cut a decorative edge in the 2x12" strip of multicolor blocks/blue solid paper. Attach it to the layout above the photo, blue side up. Machine-stitch three lines with aqua thread. Attach the main photo with adhesive foam as shown.

3. Glue strips of green polka-dot ribbon to a piece of scrap cardstock and let them dry before die-cutting your title from the scrap. Mix the die-cut letters with sticker letters for the title. Cut three strips from the leftover ribbon-covered scrap and add them to the journaling block using an asterisk sticker and a brad to form a flower. Top off the design by randomly placing a variety of circles, punched with different-size punches, around the title and putting brads in the centers of some circles from the multicolor rings/pink solid paper.

ADDITIONAL SOURCES Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper. Font: Century Gothic. Die cuts, die-cutting tool: QuicKutz. Punches: Stampin' Up!. Glue: Strano Designs.
