1. Choose a photo you really like, and that has several options for cropping into smaller sizes.

2. Crop your photo into 4 different pieces, highlighting something interesting in each piece.

3. Select 2 papers, lay one on top of the other at an angle so that the background paper looks like a frame around it. It can be whateve angle you choose, but the background paper must show. 

4. Choose at least 4 more different papers and cut them into strips or rectangles.

5. Working down the center one third of your page, place your paper pieces and photos. Stack them, layer them, angle them whatever becomes a pleasing arrangement. Just remember you are onyl working in the center one third, there must be open white space on the right and left sides. 

6. Add some tiny flowers, buttons, small swirls, leaves, small ribbons, or bows, tucking them into your arrangement. You don't have to use all of those items, but the pieces you do use should be small in size and scale.

7. Add shadows, a title or spot of journaling. ♥ Shawna
