I used a new thinlit die cut for the photo frame. This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite dies to use. I wanted it to look like Stella was leaning out of the frame a bit so I snipped around the image as closely as I could and then let the balloons go over the frame edge just a wee bit. Then I made sure that the sentiment fit inside the frame where I wanted it to be before gluing Stella back in. I love how the background paper almost looks as if it has a few swear works on it - goes along with the crabby look on Stella's face. Quite happy with how it turned out overall - hope you like it too! :o).
