Materials:
*Cardstock or scrapbooking paper for leaf
*Photos
*Scrapbooking paper in the color/pattern of your choice for the background
*Embellishments of your choice
*Scissors
*Acid free pen/marker
*All purpose adhesive
*X-acto knife or Silhouette CAMEO
Directions:
*If using the Silhouette CAMEO, download the below template and import it into your library. You can use the tips outlined in this post if you're not sure how to cut it out with your machine.
*If doing by hand, print out the template and cut it out using scissors and, when necessary, an X-acto knife. Trace the template onto the cardstock you've chosen for your leaf and then cut out the leaf shape.
*Once you've cut out your leaf shape (by either method), carefully trace the inside pieces of the leaves onto the backs of the photos. Add a border around each trace line about 1/8" thick. This way, when you cut out your photos, the leaf shape will overlap the edges of the photos.
*Crop your photos following the border you drew and glue to the leaf.
*Arrange the leaf on the scrapbooking paper you've chosen and then glue down.
*Add embellishments of your choice.
*If you're looking for an inexpensive way to display your page, you could place it inside a page protector and then prop it against some object, such as a weighted down box, which is what I did.
