Picture heavy! is one that I have never done before, but as Cathy at Paper Garden Projects had the template and cutting files HERE, (which includes instructions and photos) I thought at least I would try, and I really had fun doing it, not difficult at all, in fact quite easy and quick, the hardest part was choosing which of her beautiful papers to use.
I took photos of how I did it and then part of the way through my camera battery gave out, so I haven't shown how I placed the papers or how they cut out, but I am sure 99% of you would know how anyway. Here goes.

Fait - that is awesome! I love your book you did a fabulous job on it!
WOW ..fabulous mini album Faith. Great place to show your gorgeous pictures. Thanks for the step-by-step tutorial. Pat K x
Looks wonderful Faith
What a wonderful little memory book! A perfect way to preserve the memories of this record breaking winter!
Wow, Faith! That is brilliant! I love it! I really ought to do something like that with my Rwanda photos!
What a a treasure of this winter's memories you have created. Enjoyed reading through your 'how-to' and since I don't do 'books or albums' the process is fascinating to me. This is so cheerful with the bright papers you chose - that when you look back, maybe the dreadful rain & flooding won't seem quite as awful as it has been. I think the winter of 2014 has been so catastrophic in so many places around the world. I'm ready for Spring, and your bright colors & cheery parasol are just the right elements to say 'bring it on'. TFS & Happy Sunday.
Faith, This is a wonderful project, just love you photo book and what a great keepsake it makes. Thank you for the how to photos and for joining us for the pastel challenge this month on The Craft Garden. You can submit more than one entry to our challenge per month and hope you will come share with us again.
