It was simple really. I'm a 12x12 scrapper. Rarely are CJs a 12x12 format. In fact, Tammi's CJ is A4. So, I created my A4 page for Tammi's CJ ...

replicated it (and played spot the difference) ...
and then stuck it on a 12x12 background and 'blended it in' a bit ...
additional products used:
Color Core cardstock; black Zig Writer; more Prima Sprites flowers; and additional 'dots' from American Crafts Thickers - Fabric, Delight, Black

How cool is that? Sure it took a little extra time but let's face it, all I had to do was replicate the original (which I did 'along the way')! Plus once I added the replicated CJ page to the 12x12 cardstock all I needed to do was add a doodled border and 'spill' some flowers off the edges of the original page on to the 12x12 to help it blend in and look like a finished layout. So, so simple, and now I can happily send my page off to Tammi knowing I have a copy of it for my own albums.
PS: Doesn't the red cardstock background on the 12x12 make the whole page just 'POP'?!?!!! :)
