This layout was a lot of fun - its 8.5x11, but turned horizontally for a different effect.  The quote paper from the kit made it really easy to put together - I just layered the photos onto a piece of cardstock, slipped a bit of the scalloped border underneath and glued it to the quote paper. A few flowers and stickers...then slid an acrylic quote card behind it and I was done! For the quote card - I used a brad to secure a flower to the back of the card and glue dots to put a piece of the acrylic ribbon across the top. I found that a permanant craft marker worked great for the journaling - regular scrapbooking pens just wiped off.
