1. Place the blue paper with the striped border at the bottom. Trace small zigzags across the center of the blue portion of the background and overlapping the top edge of the blue “ribbon” printed on the paper's border.
2. Mat a horizontal photo on yellow cardstock and glue in the top left corner of the page. Trace straight stitching around the edges of the photo mat and write the subject's name above the top left corner.
3. Mat a smaller horizontal photo on yellow cardstock, trimming the left edge to 1 1/2". Fold over the left edge of the mat until it meets the edge of the photo and glue in place. Glue the photo centered below the first photo and accent the folded edge with swirl brads and a silk flower. Write the date below the bottom right corner.
4. Mat a vertical photo on yellow cardstock. Cut a triangle out of yellow cardstock and glue it to the bottom right corner of the photo. Trace straight stitching along the longest edge of the triangle corner, then accent with a swirl brad. Glue the photo over the right side of the page and write the subject's name down the bottom left side. Use a swirl brad to attach a yellow silk flower to the left of the photo.
5. Computer journal a list onto yellow cardstock and trace straight stitching across the top. Glue the journaling in the bottom right corner of the page and add a swirl brad to the left. Computer journal a strip on yellow cardstock and glue it even with the top right edge of the page. Add a swirl brad to the left end of the strip and trace straight stitching down the right end.
