Begin your layout using a piece of white cardstock.

Paper punch border strips; add them to your layout in different lengths using Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker. 


Add a few more of the border strips along with an Ephemera piece to the layout. 


Apply nursery photos on distress color card stock and tissue paper. 
Add to prepared layout using Xyron Mega Runner. 


Die cut two sets of alphabet letters from pattern paper; layer together using Xyron 1.5" Sticker Maker to create a shade affect. 
Add to prepared letters to layout. 


Spatter with Prima Confections Watercolor paints. 
Apply rub ons to prepared layout.
