Remember to choose colors of paper and embellishments that compliment your photographs. Colors chosen here reflect the colors and theme of my photographs, but may not be the best color choices for yours.
Instructions
  1. Apply adhesive to the back of each photograph then place on orange paper. Trim the paper around the photograph with the decorative scissors. Apply adhesive to the back of each matted photograph then stick to a second color of paper. Use the paper trimmer to trim around the edges. Cut two additional yellow rectangles the same size as the matted photos.
  2. Cut the required letters and numbers from yellow paper. Cut a second set using red or green paper, or alternate colors as shown. Cut along one edge of the second set of letters with the decorative scissors.
  3. Apply adhesive to the back of each letter, then place a trimmed letter on top of each yellow letter. Place the letters onto a strip of orange paper a little wider than the height of each letter then cut the letters apart.
  4. Orange punched suns were used on this project in place of the zeroes and the letter “O”. Embellish the centers with a yellow circle and a swirl punched from either red or green paper.
  5. Cut diamond shaped journaling blocks. Cut the second one larger to mat the first. Apply adhesive to both pieces.
  6. Using the project photo as a guide, arrange then place the title, matted photos and journaling blocks on the background paper
