Here are the steps I followed to make this:
1. choose a background paper

2. layer 3 papers fanned from left to right

3. add 2 photos touching in some way

4. make a small cluster where the photos touch, use any 4 to 5 elements you wish.


5. frame one or both photos

6. make a title using at least one alpha and at least one font -


7. use 3 or 4 words/phrases for journaling

8. use some sort of fastener and flower or flourish to join fanned papers.
