and highlighted certain papers
with a faux stitch border done with a black gel pen.

I've cut some phrases from the 3x4 Elements paper
and the 2x2 & 4x4 Elements paper.

The Cardstock Sticker Sheet helped to
embellish the page.
I've used some of the words from the sheet
to suit the photos and added the pins to the page.
Most elements have been lifted with foam tape
to add dimension to the page.
I've tried to balance the clusters on both sides of the photos.
I love that the colours in the different embellishments
match so well to the photos and the background crowds.
The 2 Crafty chipboard pieces bring the page together.
The 2 Crafty Scribble Tiles have been covered
with Wild Honey Distress Paint.
They have been added with foam tape

Hopefully you have been inspired to create.
