This challenge is going to be about creating your own embellishements. For my layout I used Katie Pertiet's Graphic Pop Circles brushes-n-stamps

I'm going to give you a few different versions of this:

A very simple version of this would be to create your own shape circle with text:
1. Create your canvas in photoshop/PSE/whatever
2. Draw a shape e.g. a circle and fill with a color. In PSE you can do this using the Ellipse tool (hit U to get the select the tool and keep hitting U to cycle through all the different shape options.
3. Add type to the shape using the text tool - the text layout will need to be on the top
4. Print out the shape and punch it out using a circle punch.

I used a digital circle embellishement as follows:
1. create canvas
2. drag digital image onto the canvas and resize to the size you want.
3. Recolor if needed (Ctrl-click on the thumbnail in the layers palette, hit Shift-F5 to fill that shape with the color, Ctrl-D when you are finished to get rid of the marching ants).
4. Print
