Creative ideas...Laura distressed the brown area of a die-cut paper to add emphasis, then used the scalloped border from another die-cut paper to frame the photo, and while some people shy away from using flowers on "male" pages, she used them as an accent that balances out her title...on the second layout she used a creative title to compliment the photos, and used ink to distress the edges of the cardstock base of the page (Laura is the person who first got me started inking the edges of everything in sight! She always brought in pages for us to display that had inked edges, and I liked the look so much that now I never make anything without inking.)
