Paint them yellow. Edit with white edges. Take a different stamps with journaling and to designate them in various places, particularly on the left inside so you can write out what.

Take 3 photos at a size of a creditcard: 9 by 6 cm. With the corner punch the corners rounded off. The places where the pictures come to lie slightly whiten the background. Paste the pictures on it. Carefully fine incisions along the edges, leaves a very small piece about frequently so that the pictures are not to fall out. Make sure the photos are later it can pull out easily (see photo 2).

Edit them further with various pieces of paper and embellishments. For the leaves, I have stamped them on a notepaper and so cut.
