There are several items in Simple Stories collection kits that work right on photos. They work especially well if you have an enlarged photo or a photo with a lot of dead space in it.
For this layout I chose an enlarged photo and used a lot of the empty space for the journaling, title and embellishing. I cut an Awesome transparency on the corners and used one on each corner of the large photo. I also placed Simple Stories Expression Cardstock Stickers right on the photo for my title.
Then I cut out an Awesome Vertical Journaling Card Element, added one of the Fundamental Cardstock Stickers and attached it onto the large photo.
I also inset a smaller black and white photo on the enlarged photo. I put another Awesome Fundamental Cardstock Sticker right on the smaller photo:
and cut out a few more circles with stars to go behind or get popped up on top of the photo:
I had so much fun decorating this photo that I will definitely be using more Simple Stories stickers and elements to deal with unused space in a photo rather than manually cropping it from now on!
