I tried to keep it simple I really did........I envy the Marleen's of the world who can do white space so well!

I created a background for my photo with transfers then made a composite of all these layers with the photo and shrunk it. I merged the letters and made square above them on a different layer, filled with blue, I clipped this to letters and used blending mode Multiply. I made a copy of the background paper and shrunk it, I used a pale blue paper under this as a large mount. I added some staples and the tiny sun and I was done.
