- get all of your items together, make sure they coordinate in some fashion or another
2. get your picture/s {this can also be step 1 and vice versa}
3. now decide if you are going to mat your pictures and do that first…then play around with placing your pictures on your page leaving enough room to “cluster” down in the corner {either corner works, I used the left}
4. now place your flowers in the corner {I only used 2 big flowers, but you can use as many as you want}
5. now place your word art/quote down {until it looks right to you}
6. now you can place a border {totally optional}
7. now place your large alpha or title above your border. {I added a ribbon to my “a” before I completed my LO…so if you want to add any bling/ribbon/etc to your alpha/title feel free to do so now!
8. now place a flourish or swirl of some sort up the left side behind your top big flower
9. now place your journal box beside your alpha and under your border
10. now place another flower or embellishment beside your journal box
11. now place small journal words up the left side of your page {also optional}, you can also add small little quotes {I added the heart, “dream” tag, and crown}
12. add a little journal quote or some other small embellishment under the flower in the very far corner. I also went ahead and added a bracket behindmy journal box and orange flower
13. add your brackets to the side {before and after your journal strips}, I actually pop dotted my brackets to give them some depth…but it’s optional…I also pop dotted “beautiful and “dream”
14. now I am going to add some more smaller flowers {prima flowers} with brads…just randomly placed…
15. then I added a few of the garden brads and plain brads, again randomly…
16. then I journaled with a white pen on my journal box
17. and you can then go and add some swirls, dots, and just doodle wherever you would like on your page {again optional}…
18. and VOILA! You have a very nice page with a little bit of clustering! Hope you had fun!
