Use deco scissors - I pulled out my "Deckle" scissors, from my Fiskars set. Since I was cutting checked paper, it was a little easier since I could follow the lines. I cut the photo mat and mounted the two pieces side by side, then I cut along the insides of the corner pieces to frame the "GQ".

The picture is of one of my friend's sons. I looked at the picture and just felt like he was thinking "I really look good in this hat." I pulled from the bugs and reptiles in his clothes for the embellishments.

Supplies:
cardstock - Paperbilities
brads - Traces
checked paper - DCWV Mat Stacks
blue paper for GQ (which was traced using some EK Success Chipboard letters) - unknown (I pulled this paper from my scrap file)
pop dots adhesive
Fiskars Deckle scissors
cut outs - Persnickity
alpha stickers - Mrs. Grossman's
