For my
expert
layout, I used my die cutting
machine to cut a heart out of the main photo.
Then, I used a layer of vellum, stamped with
a sentiment, followed by a piece of patterned
paper, to fill the negative space. I covered the
inside layer of a kraft envelope with a sunburst
pattern, and hid my journaling inside. Finally, I
added a few white paint drips to the woodgrain
paper and sewed layered hearts down the
seam between the woodgrain and polka dot
papers. Sewn buttons finish off the page.

For my
detailed
layout, I introduced buttons
and brads to my page and included an addi-
tional photo shot from another perspective. I
circle-punched secondary photos and placed
them along the right edge of the page. I added
a large pink journaling card that I tucked behind
my main photo at an angle to bring the eye
toward my main image. For my title, I used a die
cutting machine to create a customized word
that fits the space available above my main
photo. I finished off the page with threaded
buttons, placed in clusters throughout the
page, and a small strip of washi tape in the top,
right corner to support my journaling.
