1. Choose a solid paper for your background and one photo. Crop your photo however you would like it to be.  Keep in mind you will use this photo twice on your layout in two sizes.

2. Place your photo in one of the upper corners and mat it with either a bracket mat or another piece of paper. My photo and mat covered about 1/4 of my layout.

3. Choose at least 2 patterned papers to cut into paper strips.  Add the paper strips, a piece of ricrac, and at least one ribbon between your mat and your photo.

4. Create a cluster down one side of your photo using a curly string and at least 5 elements.

5. Duplicate your photo, resize it so that it is quite a bit smaller, and place it in the lower opposite corner.

6. Place 2 ribbons/paper strips under the photo.  Duplicate some of your elements on top of this photo.

7. Add a Title, date, and journaling if you wish.  Remember to add your shadowing.  Save and upload to your favorite gallery.  Come back here and post your gallery link.  SuzyQ will be sending you a message with your participation prize in a few days.  

I hope you all had fun and ended with a layout that is a TREAT!
