• Start by taking one of the floral prints from the Breakfast in Bed 12x12 paper pad and tearing it about 3 inches from the edge. Tear off a second strip of this so you have one for the top and bottom of your 12x12 white cardstock base. 
• Do the same tearing technique with one of the monochromatic patterns in the paper pad set. 
• Glue your torn paper pieces with the monochromatic piece layered under the floral piece, lining them up so they are flush with the top and bottom edges of your base cardstock. 
• Use your sewing machine to add some straight and wavy lines of stitching to both sets of layered patterned cardstock. 

• Use your die cut machine to cut the Stitched Scallop Card Front & Tag--cut both the largest scallop frame and the next embossed die layer in the nested set from a cardstock color that coordinates with the color of your monochromatic patterned paper. I used Dahlia for this. 
• Glue your photo to the embossed die cut then add some coordinating photo corners from the Breakfast in Bed Chipboard Frames and Corners over the top of your photo. 
• Use a coordinating color of DMC Color Variations embroidery floss to fill in the stitching holes on the scalloped frame. I used #4170. 
• Add 2mm thick foam adhesive to the back of the die cut with the photo and pop it onto the scalloped frame layer. 
• Add more 2mm thick foam to the back of this layered photo element--just to the center of the piece, and add it to your layout. I like to place mine a little off center. 

• Die cut the Sunflower Serenade, cutting the petal piece 3 times, plus the two flower centers from 3 coordinating colors of cardstock. I used Bellini, Sicily and Chiffon. 
• Glue the layers of the sunflower together and fluff the petals. 
• Cut out several of the flowers from the Club Blooms die set in various coordinating colors of cardstock (see all of the colors I used listed below). Then glue the flower layers together. Add more dimension to these by pushing up on the backside of the petals to cup them up slightly. 

• Choose some ephemera pieces from the Embellishment Sack that aren't breakfast themed, like tags, tickets, the camera, the rainbow, the alarm clock, etc. 
• Also choose a few sentiments from the Sentiment Ephemera pack in the Embellishment Set. 
• Create a couple of embellishment clusters on either side of your photo. I focused on adding some tags and torn paper ephemera pieces on the left, with the camera placed below, and some tickets and the alarm clock on the right. The rainbow was tucked slightly under the bottom torn paper layers. 

• Add die cut flowers and sentiments around your ephemera embellishment clusters. Add some flowers over the patterned paper as well. 
• Pop on some of the sentiment ephemera and add a sentiment sticker or two from the Sticker Book. 

• Add some tiny clear backed stickers from the Sticker Book if you like--I added the little apple since this is a school photo layout! 
• Add on gems and/or pearls to finish off your layout with a sparkly touch!
