I started with white cardstock and using my silhouette cameo to cut out a few cut files created by Paige Evans I started with the quilt heart I cut it out in the centre of the white cardstock then I cut out the world Sisters and backed both cut files with pattern papers from the unforgettable 6x8 paper pad

I then matted my photo on papers from the 6x8 paper pad using 3 different patterns and a bit of vellum in the layers then using some double sided foam tape I added it to the back of the photo and to the back of the word cut file to add more dimension so it would pop off the background 

Next using the unforgettable ephemera I started adding lots of flowers around the photo and the word cut file

To add more colour as I chose a more muted colours from the pattern papers 

And to finish off my layout with a few enamel dots and clear stickers 

The stitching process was lengthy but it was worth it in the end

I then add a strip of the paper 13 across the centre of the layout then adding a few strips of the paper 18 on both sides then finally adding the cut file on both sides to add that extra texture white on white pattern, then I machine stitched across each border of the paper 13

Then using double sided foam tape I started layering the flowers in 2 corners of the photo and and a third cluster to the left along with fussy cut leaves.. I add a few scattered butterflies and heart and star stickers from the 12x12 cardstock stickers and my title using the puffy phrase stickers and to the centre of the big flowers I added a wood button to add more dimension.

I chose paper 4 to back the my white cardstock with the tiny hearts cut out on so I could have that beautiful colour popping through those little heart confetti then I added the flower wreath in the centre of the hearts , then I matted my photo from papers from the 6x8 paper pad and added it in the centre of the flower wreath 

I chose a few bits from the ephemera, floral die cuts and journal spots to add around the wreath and photo And thickers to add my title along with a wood button in the middle of one of the flowers 

I also added a few stickers with yellow to add more colour to break up all that pink a bit.

Using the puffy phase stickers I added a few puffy dots in the centre of the flowers

Here are some close up pictures 

I also added the cute little hearts shakers windows to add more cuteness and colour 

A bit of glitter glue inside the flowers for a bit of sparkle 

I started off my cutting out a cut file from Paige Evans heart swirl from moonlight and then adhering it onto white cardstock that I trimmed down to add a border around it using the B side moonlight 

I then wanted to add this beautiful floral cut file from Paige Evans poppies I had on my desk so I decided to back it with glassine paper then backed again on to the floral pattern paper from the midnight 6x8 paper pad to give it a lighter look

I backed my 3x4 photo on pattered paper from the midnight 6x8 and shine bright and adhered both photo and floral cut file down at the same time then using the ephemera and cardstock stickers I added them around my photo and background 

I die cut a mini bow from the 6x8 paper pad and then added a chipboard heart to the middle to add to a paper clip 

Then to finish off my layout I flicked black mist and added machine stitching around the border.

I started with my white cardstock and using my cameo to cut out the beautiful cut file 

Then using the 12x12 paper pad I chose 2 papers one a multi pattern and the other leaves

Using the multi pattern I cut it into little strips and arranged the colours and papers 

Then using my fringing scissors I fringed each little paper and layered them together and added them to the back of the cut file and after all the letters were backed I then added my photo to the right hand side adding a little bit of pattern paper behind and tucking a sticker from the sticker sheet and the top of one of the 2x2 paper that I turned into a tag then I fussy cut out a few fern leaves to put underneath flowers from the floral ephemera pack

I used hello for part of my title from the ephemera pack and added more leaves coming out the centre 

And then i added a few pink rhinestones...

Then using horizon paper 2 I cut out lace border cut file using my silhouette cameo 3 then I adhered it to the bottom of my photo. Then I adhered my photo and backed poppies to my painted background in the center With double sided foam tape to add dimension to the cut files and photo.

Next using the horizon stickers I started to add them in the centers of the poppies and one to my photo And to finish off the layout with a few mini tassels attached with mini brads..
