I started off with a sheet of We R Memory Keepers cardstock. I trimmed the Teresa Collins patterned paper into strips and adhered it to to the cardstock and added some straight and zigzag stitching. I cut my title out using my Silhouette Portrait from the same WRMK cardstock and adhered it to my layout.
I printed my journaling onto some vellum and then diecut the edge with my Papertrey Ink Tag Sale #5 die and adhered it to my layout.
Deciding that this gorgeous paper was too pretty to cover up, I fussy cut some flowers out from behind my photo and adhered them to the front, using some dimensional adhesive, over a PTI Half & Half diecut, onto which I'd sewn the date that was printed on vellum. I added three PTI buttons and attached them with twine.
Thanks for looking!

Leigh this is such a beautiful layout and your journaling so heartfelt. Again your stitching always amazes me. I hope that you stay strong and that everything you are dealing with turns out well. Sending prayers and hugs to you.
Very lovely paper, I think it was a good choice to cut the flowers out and put them below your photo!
