Pretty Paper Party - Prompt 01

The first prompt arrived today.  We had to make a layout using strips of scrap paper.  So I sorted through the my pack of scrap pieces and found some of the borders I had left from Cosmo Crickets Upcycle range and thought they were ideal for this page.  I matted the photo on to a piece of American Crafts Hello Sunshine and then placed a larger piece of patterned paper behind this .  I wasn't to sure on the colours I'd chosen and sat there for some time trying to bring it all together.  So I left it on the table and went and did a few jobs then came back to it.  I added a small journalling card under the picture and a sticker from Amy Tangerines Remark sticker book.  For the title I used Mini Market Stickers in black and cream and some white thickers.  Even when I thought I'd finished I still wasn't completely happy with it.  There was still to much open space so I painted a border line around the kraft card which some how seemed to bring the whole page back in together.
