Busy patterned papers can be difficult to use as they can overcome your layout and drown out your photo/s. In this layout, Kelley shows you how to take a busy patterned paper and turn it into a gorgeous frame for your page so that your emphasis remains on your photo/s.

This layout  was created using three papers from the Sassafras Lass In Stitches collection (In Stitches Elated Paper, In Stitches Vivacious Paper and In Stitches Chipper Paper), blue cardstock and Heidi Swapp Playbill Bark Rub-ons.

Begin by cutting out the middle of your In Stitches Elated Paper, following the floral shapes to create a frame. Adhere to your blue cardstock 

Mat your photo with In Stitches Vivacious Paper and then In Stitches Chipper Paper. Position on your page and adhere. Cut additional flowers from your In Stitches Elated Paper and adhere around your photo, as shown in the layout above.

Finally, using Heidi Swapp Playbill Bark Rub-ons or other alphabet letters, write your title sideways on the right of your photo.
