I took the background paper and used the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder on just a section of the paper that the photograph covered. I used the lace ribbon by the paper studio to cover up the lines that the folder creates. I used distress inks on the embossed images so they are more visible. I added some small diamond jewels in some of the embossed areas. I used the storybook cricut cartridge for their names. I used the Plantin Schoolbook cart for the & sign. I used some of tim holtz' grungeboard for the right side of the layout. For the heart I used red ink for the heart and used gold for the sides. I then took sandpaper and rubbed it over. For the flourish I took several different pastel chalk inks to cover it including green, blue and pink. I used Glossy Accents to glue them in their spot.
