I used glimmer missed on the large Heidi Swapp flower for some extra glitter. Stamp journaling on patterned paper and cut.

Flourishes : Institchz - Bazzill

HOW TO

Stamp the journaling stamp on the red backside of a patterned paper: line it up with a photo then cut out the photomat and cut around the stamp.
Layer your paper and before adhering it to your page distress all the edges of the patterned paper.
for the flourishes I used the technique the talented Christiane Muller taught me and made faux stitches with the templates and a pen.
Paint the hinges in a color that fits your paper (they were blue before).
Add your title.

Journaling: I have been dreading this phase for years. Never thought it would come this soon.

I used BG wassail line backside paper as a background.
Only used the outside scalloped border of the MM paper
Filled the circle in with wassail line again.
Put the photo's on a large red photo mat.
Distressed the edges of all patterned papers
Stamped the journaling block and wrote journaling with a black American Craft marker. Use the same marker to outline the photos, to make them pop more.
