5 different types of embellishments (not counting your piece of chipboard)<br />
<br />
Is that the easiest recipe or what? Oh wait.... yes, one tiny little qualifier :) You must have some form of the word "Kiss" on your layout OR your photos must somehow involve a kiss. It doesn't matter who or what, it can be baby kisses, puppy kisses, wedding kisses, little girl with her favorite baby-doll kisses, Grandma & Grandpa kisses.... whatever you have. Just show me the kisses!!<br />
Here's my example with, coincidentally enough, the Birds of a Feather February Kit featuring Basic Grey "Kissing Booth":<br />

This was such a fun sketch! I changed it up a little to accommodate my photos, but that's the beauty of sketches..... no rules :)<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 398px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530733874758078770" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2i1T1s9JMTM/TMEdJ_As0TI/AAAAAAAADn4/KQHQo4f67N8/s400/Sketch+6.jpg" /><br />Here's what I ended up with.... I turned the sketch on it's side, and used BoBunny "Block Party" (I *heart* BoBunny!) which was totally perfect for these photos of my oldest daughter from July 4th.<br /></span><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2i1T1s9JMTM/TMEcMWtRS2I/AAAAAAAADng/yZtFcl6SJxg/s1600/You+Sparkle.jpg"><span style="font-family:courier new;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 392px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530732815967144802" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2i1T1s9JMTM/TMEcMWtRS2I/AAAAAAAADng/yZtFcl6SJxg/s400/You+Sparkle.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family:courier new;"><br />I'm think I'm still going to add a little glitter to my title, it just seems to need it. Can one ever <em>really</em> have too much glitter?? I think not ;) These alpha-stickers are Prima's "Whispered Words" alphas; they have a velvety texture and I like the size of them. Not too big, not too tiny...
