Just playing around with a picture of Ellie. I've shown you the original, the middle step and the final layout. I wanted the page to have an aged look, like an old book freshly discovered.

Photo edited in PSE6. Layout put together in PSPX2. Paper is from Bisontine's "Chic Spring" kit, available at Shabby Pickle. Flowers are from the "Wildwood Enchanted" kit at Creative Victorian Designs. Two overlays by Vera Lim blended into the design. Final overlay by Studio Berna blended several times. I used brushes for the cracked effect on the book pages.
