Hi ...it's Bev. How is your day going? I have been crafting with the Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Collection. This collection is from The Rubber Buggy. What fabulous designs, colours and the sunflower accents whether single and flat or fussy cut and popped up for depth and 3D looking are all amazing.
This is a page of the 2 youngest Grand Children in what is their yearly fall family photo session. Love taking photos for them and then creating memories for their albums.

Thanks for visiting and see you again soon.

Instructions: Starting with your background paper choice.. pull at least 3 accent choices for layering. Grab some tag, ticket, photo frame and fussy cut optional pieces and a title you make yourself or from your stash.  First you'll place your photos in the vicinity on the page so you can size and layer the accent papers. I worked one photo into a collection frame but cutting it down a bit. When layering it's best to layer in light to dark or soft and bold so each layer pops. I ran the dark brown/read piece across the back, added the right side piece under the unmatted photo and spaced the framed photo to the left side. At the upper edge of the previous layers I added the fun word print piece and just slipped the edge under. When working with layers it's best to ink all the edges so each piece has a defined edge. In the upper right corner I fussy cut the sunflowers off a sheet and worked it into the other papers. With the whole background with photos done I choose to add texturing using a stencil and modeling paste. To protect the photos I covered them up and did the stenciling.  While the stenciling is drying you can take time now to gather some possible accents for your page. More is better and you can change things up as you go along. I chose to cluster between the photos with 2 tags, doily, piece of mesh and tied off tags with a brad and twine. Next I copic coloured the chipboard base first and then added liquid pearls for more sparkle. In 3 locations I added pearls and bling, I added a ticket accent and finally the glitter title. I always try to make sure that the photos pop off the page and to decorate without losing the fabulous designs in the papers. Just enough of everything is perfect on any project.

Start by covering each page by tracing on the back side, cutting and gluing down.














All glued down especially on the outer edges.


















Here is each page ups close finished. Dig into the collection for accents and then some from your stash. This one has fussy cut flowers, chipboard, and glitter using stickles.


















This page has a border, matted photo and dew drop accents.


















This page has fussy cut butterfly flourishes popped up, a ticket and framed photo.

















Lots of different papers mixed together across centre to create a base for the photo. An added bow and ribbon accent.


















Circles dominate this page along with a doily which is circular also. I added a base border, a bow and some stickles for glitter.


















This page boasts a matted tag and more tag accents from my stash on top of it along with a title cut from the collection.


















This side has a cardstock strip border, an upper and lower shield from papers, ticket accent with some small tags along with the fun burlap flowers.


















The colour on this page was generated by using a frame paper and making it fit. The photo is double matted and a small floral cluster.


















Starting with a strip of burlap and a boarder.. the circular frame for the photo and small floral accents I added some stickles and a ripped piece of accent paper.















The back cover has burlap accents below the matted floral journal card. A small floral cluster with some tags and a touch of stickles for glitter completed the album pages.
