Process Notes: Using solid paper 2 as my foundation, I positioned transfer 2 on the paper and blended to Linear Burn. Over it I placed my photo, resizing and using a reverse mask, I brushed the photo into the transfer with Annas Artsy Brushes. (I use those a lot on my layouts.) I clipped a black and white adjustment layer to the photo and above that a brightness/contrast layer after blending the photo to Hard Light.

I duplicated the photo and ran the Poster Edges filter on it and used another brightness/contrast adjustment layer, turning down the opacity of the photo to 75% after blending to Hard Light.

I used a brush along the left and bottom of the photo to get a little more texture and also brushed away a part of the transfer along the left side to smooth out the edge.

Using overlay 3 from the Palette in the upper left corner, blended to Linear Burn after resizing it, then adding transfer 6 to the bottom also blending to Linear burn after flipping it vertically and resizing. On the right edge I put overlay 1 and blended to Linear Burn.

From the Hearth word art, I placed one on the window, resizing and another nestled in the bottom bricks on the right side, blending that one to Hard Light. Positioning the button and giving it a drop shadow, I added the threads over it.

Then I worked on the title, giving it a gold style I have in my stash and using the blend ifs on it to allow the brick to come through. And to finish it up, I used the daisies at the bottom of the page and called it done.
