Don't be afraid to use glitter with your heritage photos.
My Mind's Eye has the most beautiful, subtle range of glitter paper and embellishments available at the moment. The paper I used below had the banners and "celebrate" already printed on the paper.
I used the matching printed lettering to spell out "A handful of love". What I did was raised each little banner on some foam adhesive to create a bit of dimension.
Another tip you can implement is when you want to end off a ribbon in the middle of the page without an embellishment to finish off the raw edge - just make a slit in the page with your craft knife and thread the ribbon through to the back and stick it down with tape. That way it is neat and won't fray on the front of the page. 
Here you can see some of the glitter detail. By using foam adhesive you create shadows on the page which adds another dimension of interest to the page.
Heritage photos can sometimes curl, so another tip to remember is use a stronger adhesive such as a double sided tape to adhere the photos to the page.
Happy scrapping.
