Once again Chris shows you how easy it is to combine layering techniques and distressing to create an engaging layout. These versatile techniques can be adapted to almost any page. So have a go and see what you come up with!

This layout was created using Green Bazzill cardstock, Basic Grey Phine Line, Phinicky, Phinesse and Phoilage paper, Making Memories Jigsaw Alphabets Philadelphia Monograms Raw, Jo Sonja Paint Prussian Blue Hue and Kaiser Hot Pink, Making Memories ribbon charms, Heidi Swapp ribbons, Tim Holtz Distressable Inks Fired Brick, Retro Flower punch and corner punch, eyelets, Black Zig writer and Karen Foster 3D Alpha-Winks Pink stickers.

Using the Basic Grey Phinicky paper as your background and ink the edges. Cut a 15cm x 26cm piece from the Basic Grey Phoilage paper, round corners with corner punch, ink the edges and adhere to background paper on the left side. Set eyelets in corners.

Cut a 10cm x 23.5cm piece and a  4.5cm x 19cm from the Basic Grey Phine Line paper, round corners with corner punch and ink edges. Adhere the larger piece to the right of layout as shown, setting eyelets in all corners except the bottom left. Then, adhere the smaller piece on the Basic Grey Phoilage paper as shown in the layout.

Mat your photo on Basic Grey Phinesse paper, making sure the border around your photo is reasonably wide. Ink the edges of your photo mat and round the corners.

Cut a tag 7.5cm x 21cm from the Green Bazzill and ink the edges. Journal as desired. Set an eyelet in top of the tag and thread your ribbon through.

Paint the outer of the Alphabet Monograms in the Prussian Blue Hue and the inner Alphabet Monogram in the Hot Pink. Adhere a couple of strips of ribbon directly underneath where your T monogram is to go and then adhere your T monogram to the page. Thread a length of ribbon through ribbon charm and adhere your ribbon along the bottom of the page. Use your Karen Foster 3D Alpha-Winks Pink stickers to make up the word �totally� next to your T monogram. Adhere the Y monogram to your page so it overlaps both your photo mat and the ribbon at the bottom of the page. Use your Karen Foster 3D Alpha-Winks Pink stickers to make up the word �you�.

Finally, use your Retro Flower Punch to cut three flowers from the Basic Grey Phoilage paper. Set eyelets in the middle of each, ink the edges and adhere to the right of the top right of your photo mat so that they overlap your photo.
