1. Mat photo on brown card stock. Double mat with lighter green card stock. Tear and ink the edges.

2. Cut a 9-1/4" x 7-3/4" piece of darker green card stock.

3. Cut four square/rectangle pieces of patterned paper to layer over the dark green card stock square, leaving a 1/8-inch border.

4. Dab a paper towel in black ink (blot off excess) and rub all over the pattern paper, being sure to ink the edges as well.

5. Center and adhere the matted photo over the now layered card stock.

6. Tear patterned paper and adhere to background card stock. Rub black ink all over background as explained above.

7. Adhere matted photo to background, shifted slightly to the right side of the page.

8. Cut tags and layer pattern paper over tags.

9. Adhere smaller photos to tags and adhere page pebbles over photos. Hang with fiber from three Bradlets placed at bottom right of photo.

10. Rub Bradlets with StazOn ink.

11. Adhere baby buttons to center of Bradlets with a Mini Glue Dot.

12. Cut a quarter circle (figure A) and five marquis with the circle template and swivel knife (figure B) (to create the petals, you need to "cheat" when cutting by sliding the template over to create the petals). Give a jagged trim to top of each flower petal.

13. Crumble each piece individually and ink as shown in layout to create depth (figure C).

14. Assemble flower (figure D). Pen outline and veins of flower petals.

15. Layer and adhere flower to left bottom corner of background, using Mini Glue Dots. Trim any excess that hangs over layout.

16. Place alphabet stickers at top of layout as shown.

17. Adhere sunflower buttons on layout with Mini Glue Dots.

18. Journal on vellum and adhere to background.

19. Stamp date on matted background of photo.
