Beautiful Memories By KERRY MCINALLY

First of all I cut down the Coconut Swirl cardstock to 11.5 squared, and gutted the Quicksand cardstock to make a frame for the white.
Using a stencil from my own stash I added some leaves to the corners of the white cardstock with some Shimmerz paint in a gold, also from my own stash.  I added some splatters at this point too.

Then I cut the strips from paper no1 and distressed the edges.  I added these to the white card with a gap in between each strip cutting each strip slightly smaller than the previous one.

Next I matted my 4x6 photograph onto one of the 4x6 elements from the no1 paper and again on a piece of the Quicksand cardstock which I had gutted previously.  I add this to the centre of the strips using some foam tape.  Again using the Quicksand cardstock I made a tag and to this added a 2x2 journalling element from the no1 paper and a butterfly which I had cut from the same paper.  I used ribbon from my own stash which I ran across the bottom of my strips to add more texture.

Using the same Shimmerz paint I coloured the chipboard words, ‘beautiful memories’ and added this under the photo.

Finally I used some of the rub ons provided in the kit to add further interest to the page.
