The kit used for this page is from Cottage Garden Digital Kit.

Paper is paper14 and all the embellishments are from the same kit.  Text box font is Andy 14

 

 

With this page I selected a dark brown color and added the grass texture to the whole page.  Then I added the Cheerful Digital Overlay1, the text box it Andy 14. 

To get the soft edges, put your photos into the photo boxes, make sure they are the way you want them to be and then flatten each one.  On the Format ribbon, select Filters and choose Soften edge.  I used 57 for the number on the soft edge.  You can use the slider to adjust and make more softness if you like.
