Clip an epoxy paper clip onto the right side of photo. Print out journaling, trim and adhere to page just below photo. Use a sewing machine to stitch down journaling strips. Adhere chipboard, acrylic and acetate stars to page. Use a mini stapler to staple down a couple of the stars. Place a floral chipboard sticker to left hand side of page just below photo. Adhere acrylic "Shine" sticker to bottom right hand side of page. Place a small tag (from ephemera pack) to top right hand side of page. Use a sewing machine to stitch down. Place an acrylic star on top. Stamp phrase stamp onto page using white dye based ink. Finish page by using a sewing machine to add random stitching to page in a sporadic pattern.
I love that background shape, is that an original design or a shape that can be purchased. I love your layout!
