HOW I DID THIS
I could not believe it when I found this pretty dotty paper in my stash! It completely complements my outfit, a dotty dress!

 Divide paper into thirds, using the dotty paper in the bottom third
Adhere this to coordinating cardstock, cut to 10x10 inches
Ink the edges
Adhere to a 12x12 inch cardstock
Matt three photos and adhere across the page
Add a doily over the top
Cut out two circles, one in card, one in pretty paper, ink the edges
Adhere these on top of the doily
Die cut a border to sit below the photos
Start to decorate adding clock faces, assorted flowers, butterflies and two metal charms
Add title and journaling.
