So here are the instructions:
1- Pick 2 papers - 1 plain, 1 patterned Pick 3 pictures Blend one of your pictures onto your plain paper (paper can have texture, ofcourse, it just has to be plain enough for your picture to show!). Make the picture large... it should take about 1/3 of your paper.
2- We are now going to do some writing! Pick your title... write your title with a small font. Hilight one (or more) words in your title by changing color/size/font. Bring the opacity down to about 60 % so it will "blend" with the page. Now, copy the title several times (I copied mine about 15) and arrange the lines scattered throughout your page.
3 - You should now have a "new canvas"!! Pick 3 frames (can all be the same, but they don't have to be the same!). Make them small, so that the photos would be aprox 2.5x2.5. They don't have to be square, this is just a guideline. Arrange them in your page any way you want them to be arranged. Then insert in the frames the two remaining pictures AND a copy of the third picture (which you have already used for the background). You should have 3 different pictures, one in each frame.
4- Cluster time!! (I know you guys like them!!). At least 3 flowers (can be more and they do not have to be all different), two ribbons or bows, several twigs or greenery of some sort and anything else you might want to "throw in". Make a cluster and place it in one of the corners of the LO.
5- Pick a fun element (or two). Copy the element(s) 3 times and place one on top of each of your frames. You should be starting to catch up by now... if you don't, you will with the next set of instructions!
6- Now it is that time when you take a good look at your LO, add the "final" touches, your drop shaddows, date, etc, etc! This is also your "catch up" time!! LOL!!
There are still one more instruction left in this Speedscrap, isn't there? Yep! There is, but first, I need you to finish this part up, and merge all your layers!
7 -So this is what you all have been waiting for!! Pick a color that goes with your LO and stroke the merged page. Place that page on top of your patterned paper... "Shrink" the merged LO so that the patterned paper shows as a "border" (about 1/2 inch each side, so you can see some of the pattern). Go ahead and pick one of the elements of your clusters Place the element on the same corner where you have your cluster (make the element a little larger, if it is too small so you can distinguish it from the "rest of the cluster"). The element should be "connecting" your LO onto the background page. Add final drop shaddows and "voila"!!!
