I'm a scrapbooking, crafting mama of three girls who give me lots of inspiration! I'm a contributing editor for Simple Scrapbooks magazine and occasionally teach photography workshops locally. My two most important tools of the trade are my camera (Canon) and my microtip scissors (Fiskars). I can't live without either of them!

Instructions (Print version)

1. Choose a favorite 4 x 6 photo.
2. Cut patterned paper to 8.5 x 11 and a solid piece of coordinating cardstock to 8 x 10.5.
3. It's easy to mix and match color-coordinated embellishments! Choose a few clear stickers, chipboard stickers and shapes to dress up your photo.
4. Using a square scalloped punch, punch a few squares of a coordinating piece of patterned paper and cut into strips to use as a quick and easy border. They fit together like puzzle pieces and can be customized in length by trimming off the end with Fiskars scissors (I like my microtip scissors because they are so precise and small enough to handle intricate cuts!)
5. Journal underneath your photo and your layout is complete!
