Here are my layouts:
If you don’t like lumpy embellishments, then you will want to pass on the flowers.  They are thick but very pretty.  As you can see, I adjusted the right side of the page to fit multiple photos.  This can be done quite easily with 2 or 3 photos too.  If you don’t get the stamping perfect on the pink strip at the bottom, just ink the edges and it will camouflage the flaw.  For my white strip, I stamped using the border stamp instead of multiples of the small flower (too time-consuming).
I know there are some of you who like to hear about my mistakes so here’s one and how I made it work.  I had the pictures for both of these layouts together in my paper packet.  When I went to get started, I pulled out the pictures for the second layout and cut them for the first!  I had a feeling that it wasn’t right but did it anyway….  I was going to reprint the pictures, not the end of the world, but I decided to just switch things up and they will still work.  You can see these smaller (ooopsy cut) photos on the first page of this layout and how I matted them to replace the one large photo.  My original plan was to make a photo mat to fit two photos on this page and add flip flaps.
The words that come with the Keepsake Alphabet are so neat and they fit so well into this layout that I added them to the blue edges in Outdoor Denim ink.  I also had to add Opaque Pearls Adhesive Gems and Opaque Pearl Flourishes for more elegance.
One last comment: From the book, I didn’t care much for the Keyboard Kraft Alphabet but now that I’ve used it I really like it.  I like using small letters but they are a pain to stamp so this is a better option.  There are a lot of letters on the sheet so it’s a good value and they are very easy to work with (you can move them around a bit on your page).
