Hello Scrap-Sisters!

Yeheyyy! Nandito na ang layouts ni Donna. :) Below are Donna's gorgeous layouts we're sharing with you with her materials list and instructions.

Instructions:

1. Cut 8x8 and some flower patterns from DD Morningside paper. To maximize, cut the 8x8 first then the pattern. Distress and ink the edges of the 8x8 paper.
2 . Cut a 2 1/2 strip from the Ottoman paper. Scallop the edges. (for my strip, I traced it from a self-made template).
3. Cut a 4 inches tag from a brown cardstock. Write or printe your journaling on the tag. Stamp with gold ink, the top and edges. Adhere 3 crystals or blings on the top of the tag.
4. For the lace/trims and stitched sequins, prepare 12" of each and a string of little pearls.
5. Corner-round your focal photos and cut one of your photos into an oval shape.
6. Prepare 3 Prima flowers, 1 big and 2 small flowers. Adhere blings/crystal to the 2 smaller flowers. Attach a colored flower on the big Prima.
7. On the tag, trace colored-glittered pens on the words to make it pop.
8. Assembly:
a. Adhere the 8x8 paper on the base cardstock. Then the tag and focal photo on the right side of the layout. The smaller photo on the left side and slightly under the tag. Stamp gold ink on the photo's edge and put 3 crystals or blings for accent (outside edge of the photo)
b. Adhere the floral patterns on the right side, just touching a small portion of the photo, and on the upper left side of the 8x8 paper. (Just adjust the photo below it for balance)
c. Then put the strip of paper just below the 8x8 paper, photos and tag. Arrange the trims, title tag, flowers, clip and pearl strings on the strip. Place a floral pattern just below the tag and on top of the strip.
d. Ink the edges of the base cardstock with gold ink.

Then fold again and again until it is shaped like a cone (2 folds minimum for the small circle and 3 or more folds the bigger the circle gets). Snip the tips of the folded paper.
