  Create your Chevron Strip:
   Use 2 scraps of paper measuring 4cm x 30.5cm to stick your finished chevrons onto BEFORE you place onto your layout.  Lay next to each other to form a long 61cm strip to go over both pages. 

Cut through when you are finished your layout.

   Cut 17 strips of Love and Whimsy 003 measuring 3cm x 8cm wide


Line them up at 90 degrees with each other and cut through the middle (throw away small triangles) and alternate with next piece and cut through as per example above.
Adhere a row of 002 along top of your strip and the row of 003 along the bottom.



Once these are all stuck down you can now adhere this strip into the open gap between your pattern papers.

Layout Placement:
·         Mat a jumbo photo on Pink Cardstock and adhere to top left corner. (raise with foamcore if you wish)
·         Add  a portrait jumbo next to this along top of layout (tuck into your chevron at bottom )
·         Adhere 3 jumbo landscape photos along the bottom of layout, also tucked into your chevrons, you can cut them shorter by 2cm.

Cut your papers as follows and adhere to background Pink Cardstock  (NB:  001 – KEEP your huge flower for your flower cluster)

Left page:
Sand your 3 photos ( measuring 8cm x 15cm) and tape to Teal Cardstock.  Ink edges in Black.  Stick to left page as per example.
Print your quote .. “If I had a flower,” onto pink cardstock and place as per example below your first photo.  Use a scrap of teal cardstock 10cm x 2cm and scallop one end.  Adhere this to bottom of your top left photo over your quote. Add a row of half pearls to the scallops.
Arrange your big cluster of flowers (cut out of paper 001 and 004- keep some leaves too) to top right of page. (Use the HUGE flower from 001 paper at the very bottom of your cluster)   Use pop dots to raise some elements and add your black swirl and some pink half pearls to your flowers.  Print your quote “Just living” on teal paper and adhere to big flower.
Add title of choice above this cluster.
