• Trim a 3x4 photo down just a little to matte it onto a piece of 3x4 inch Color Wheel Cardstock in Raven. Attach the photo to the matte with a dotted adhesive roller.
• Die cut a piece of Malibu cardstock using the largest stitching frame from the Stitched Scalloped Card Front and Tag Club die. (You can currently get all of the Club dies I used for this project a la cart!)
• Using the next embossed frame down in the set, cut a piece of the 6x6 marbled green-blue paper and attach it to the scalloped frame with dotted adhesive. 
• Trim a piece of the green and white striped 6x6 paper to fit just behind the scalloped frame and a piece of the 12x12 blue monochromatic floral paper to fit behind the striped paper. I made this blue floral paper slightly wider, so I could offset my scalloped frame and striped paper to one side of the blue floral paper for a bit of interest. 
• Use a distressing tool to distress the edges of the blue floral and green and white stripe paper mattes. Set these mattes aside. 

• Using Seaside, Waterfall and Breeze Color Wheel Cardstocks, cut the larger flower center from the Stitched Petal Bloom die--cut one without the stitching holes and one with the stitching holes insert to get two layers for each color, and 1 flower of each of the 3 colors. 
• Then cut the small round center from the Stitched Petal Bloom die from the Alabaster cardstock, again once with the stitching holes and once without. Cut 3 sets--one for each flower you just cut.
• Set these die cuts aside in some Scrapbook.com Stack-n-Sort Trays for later. I like to put the ones with stitching holes in one tray, and the non-stitching cuts in another.
• Die cut your title using the Stitched Alphabet set. I used Mint cardstock for the lower layer and the stitching top layer from Breeze cardstock. Set these die cuts aside, adding your stitching dies to the same tray.

• Next, die cut the two largest flowers from the Club Blooms die set from the Alabaster, Seaside, Waterfall and Breeze cardstocks. Then cut some of the leaves from Mint cardstock. 
• Adhere your Club Bloom flower centers to the flower base then set these and the leaves aside in a tray. 
• Stitch your scalloped frame with the DMC Color Variations embroidery floss #4030. 
• Stitch your Alabaster flower centers with DMC embroidery floss Ecru (from the Spellbinders Neutral Floss Bundle).
• Stitch your Seaside flower with DMC embroidery floss #964 (from the Spellbinders Cool Floss Bundle).
• Stitch your Waterfall flower with DMC embroidery floss #958 (also from the Spellbinders Cool Floss Bundle).
• Stitch your Breeze flower and letters with  DMC embroidery floss #162 (also from the Spellbinders Cool Floss Bundle).

• Once all of your stitching dies are stitched up, add some 1mm thick foam adhesive to the backs of each stitching die. Then adhere the flowers and flower centers to their corresponding non-stitching layer and the stitched letters to the shadow base die you cut from the Mint cardstock.
• Add your black matted photo to the center of the scalloped frame, placing it on a diagonal.
• Add foam adhesive to the back of the scalloped frame and adhere it to the green and white stripe paper. 
• Using dotted adhesive, adhere the striped paper to the blue floral paper and then add the whole matted stack to your green-blue marbled background paper at an angle. 
• Arrange your stitched flowers into clusters, placing the Breeze and Seaside flowers on the top left corner of your matted photo, and the Waterfall one on the bottom right of your photo. Don't glue anything down yet--give yourself a chance to play with placement first! 

• Add in your Club Bloom flowers and leaves, ruffling up the flower centers and curving a few of the petals and the leaves (you can use some shaping tools, or just your fingers, to shape your leaves and petals).
• Add in some of the ephemera using pieces from both of the Hello It's Me! ephemera packs. (I cut off some of the extra white halo using a self-healing craft mat and swivel craft knife, but this is optional.)
• Place your title in the bottom left corner of your layout.

• Use liquid adhesive and foam adhesive to adhere all of your ephemera, your title and the flowers to your layout.
• Add some chipboard and puffy stickers from the Hello It's Me! collection. 
• Add some of the Fashion Pearls in Oyster to your layout. I added a large pearl to the center of each stitched flower center and to the body of the butterfly ephemera. The other pearls are scattered throughout the negative spaces of the layout.
