I used Dido Designs beautiful "beeMine" Notions Kithttps://www.oscraps.com/shop/product.php?productid=46461&cat=289&page=5

For this page I found my photo and converted it to black and white, then with a normal blend mode I decreased the level on that layer to 102 and this deleted the background on my photo. I placed it on top of my papers and added the overlay behind the photo, included a few elements and my little quote.
