I have a flowering crab tree in my yard that has been there for over 40 years. And when it blooms it is so beautiful. I snapped a picture with my cellphone and processed in Snapseed.

Process
1. Choose a frame from the kit that fits the picture. Clip picture to frame mask using Create Clipping Mask. I had to rotate this frame and so needed to adjust the shadow to stay consistent with my normal shadows.
2. Then I choose a paper to fit in with the horizontal style page I wanted to create. I thought Artsy Paper 2 would work nicely.
3. So the focal design would run across the whole page I made a copy of the focal photo. Then I control clicked on the mask layer to get a selection. Now I selected on the copy of the photo and clicked the mask icon so that I got a picture identical to what was in the frame. I made a copy of this. I shifted one copy to the far right and one to the far left. I reduced the opacity of both pictures to about 40%.
4. I added the artstroke over the two copies of the focal photo and overlay 3 on the lower left edge. Transfer 4 was added to the upper right hand corner,
5. I placed WatercolorFlowers 1.11 to the page using the color from my crab tree flowers.
6. I choose a title from Spring-WordART-Mix-No 1 but I also added the word Bloom to the page. I increased the size so it covered the bottom of the page. I also reduced the opacity to about 10% and ran the Gaussian blur filter. I wanted the word to be just barely visible.

And my favorite part of spring is captured on a scrapbook page for me to enjoy.
Love the horizontal design the faded word art and framing! Gorgeous!
 
wonderful work with the sun at the top of the pages and getting the colors to go so well with the photo.
