I created a simple layering of journaling and chipboard tags to create a grouping to the bottom right of the photo. I also created a fabric flower to back my Prima flower on the page.
Thread a small strip of paper through the holes in the edge of the paper for added dimension.
To create the fabric flower, cut a strip of fabric, fold over and tack a row of stitching on the edge. 
Pull the top thread only from both ends to bunch the fabric. Sew the edges together and sit to the back of a prebought silk or paper flower. 
Create smaller flowers and attach a button in the centre. Thread floss through and tie in a pretty bow.
Scrapbooking doesn't always have to be complicated and intricate. A few simple embellishments to a frame can create an extra special picture. 
Here I have added a pearl flourish, paper strips, rubons, fussy cut leaves and birds and my mini fabric flowers from above. These can be added straight over the glass in your frame.
A mountain/valley folded album was a perfect solution to hold a snapshot of memories for our 2009 excursions. By cutting four pieces of cardstock 14 x 28cm and folding each in half, I was able to attach the second page over the first to create a concertina album.
By adding simple embellishments like machine stitching, journaling labels, rubons, fussy cut flowers and leaves from the patterned paper, each page has a little something extra.
An index page is always good to describe each page especially when using 5x7 photos. 
Some closeups for you.
