Here below are two sample layouts from me:

Happy Life

I like the design of this paper. The top part is the back side of the bottom paper, i just simply cut it apart and tape them together with gold washi tape, this is my background, just to keep it simple and origin. 

 I used the twine to connect all the embellishments, making them like swing in the spring wind. Colorful buttons, flowers, enamel dots will be very good choices.

Paper clips, pins, resin bird, and the super cute light bulb adds dimensions to the layout.

Oh, Be Still My Beating Heart

 This is a mixed media layout. The photo just taken in Feb before Chinese New Year and I will adjust the papers to match the photo background. i distress both layers of papers and ink them into red edge by using Tim Holtz's Fired Brick.

I created the background by using gesso on Crafter's Workshop stencil - Cherry Blossoms  which i had it for years, it is just perfectly matched the theme of Spring Festival.

Birds are sitting on the cherry blossoms branch! This is the cut out from paper.

Insert dollies into the teared paper to created layers. Bird is flying back to her nest in Spring!  These embellishments are just too cute!
