What a fantastic layout, Celestine!  I love the background (how did you create this??) I especially like the photo treatment and the bright orange frame.  Well done!

I started with a few of the journal cards in the pack and reduced them to a size that I could have five across and four down. I filled in spaces with equal-sized photo boxes that were filled with papers, spacing evenly horizontally and vertically from narrow page guides on the edges. Then I layered up the paper rectangles with embellishments from the kit. Does this explain it? I admit, it took some time, but now I also have a decent template to re-use!

This caught my eye right away. This is soooo good! Using the journaling cards as background is truly inspired, and the use of elements within them is very pleasing and just gives us so much to look at!  The artistic treatment of your photo is the perfect soft contrast to your crisp background. Love this. 

Great photo and treatment, so very pretty.  I like how you used the different blocks for different pieces, you did this so well!

Yes, it makes sense!  Thank you for sharing!

Such a fun layout! I like how you used the journal cards and added some elements to them.

Really like this journaling card layout.  Great composition and cute embellishments.  Really like the photo effect.  Adorable photo.

What a clever way to use a lot of journal cards. Love the heart string. Gorgeous page.
