Instructions: The completed size of this layout is, 30.5 cm x 30.5 cm. The size photos used: 2 x, 6 cm x 6. 1 x, 10.1 cm x 4.1 cm. Please Note: All stamping is done with the gold embossing powder on the crafters companion cardstock. Use one of the green cardstock as a layout base. Taking the design paper with the beehive on it, cut this in half. Cut off center, to the side of the beehive and distress all the edges. Put one sheet of green cardstock aside for the title. Cut the remaining two sheets of green cardstock the same size as the design paper. Take one of the cardstock sets and align the die to make a lace edge. Apply glitter to this lace edge. Adhere the lace edge to the matching plain edged set of cardstock. Adhere to the matching size design paper. Now you have a pair. Adhere the layered papers to the green cardstock layout base. Please note! Apply glue only to the top out side corners and along the outer edge. Holding securely the top center join of the papers (about 9 cm. not yet ready to glue down, as the flowers need to be added and this will be done later), carefully role the center bottom corners back to the out side edge. When pleased with the placement, adhere the corners in place.
Stamp the strawberries, 4 x the long and 2 x the fuller image. Color, die cut then shape. Stamp the flowers (a lot, both sets) color a few pink then die cut them all. Shape the flowers with the shaping kit with the aid of misted water.
Cut the photos to size and back them with cardboard. Adding about 3-4 layers of cardboard strips to give the extra height.
Place the longer strawberry clusters in the paper tear point to the bottom of the layout, as a background. Adhere the larger photo to the background. Add the flowers. Place and adhere the remaining photos so they peek out from behind the folds. Add trimmed to size strawberry clusters and a few flowers around and under the photos as seen in the photo. Adhere flowers and the remaining strawberry clusters to the layout top edge join. Add the crystal gems to the flower centers. Die cut the small flower cluster from the Sweet as Honey set and from the matching image printed in the paper found in the paper pad. Cut a few extra from the crafters companion card stock to make a chipboard piece. Adhere this to the top of the honey hive. Add x 2 pink flowers to the under side of the honey hive.
Taking the remaining cardstock, cut the title from the alphabet sets. Cut each letter x 6. Adhere all the layers together to form letter chippies. Adhere in place to form the title.
