For the cover, I used a Close To My Heart background stamp w/ Staz-On, ModPodged over to seal it, then smeared Shimmerz sheer paint over it with my finger. The cherries are pipe cleaners!
I enlarged some of the photos to 5x7, so they would be all the way to one edge. After I painted the "page," I used the other 3 patterns of the Close To My Heart background stamp set, this time using paint instead of ink.The papers, die-cuts, and cardstock stickers are all K & Co.
