1. Use a sheet of 12" white cardstock as the background. Glue a 10"x9" piece of black flourish paper even with the right edge of the background. Stamp the script pattern in black above and below the black paper. Stamp part of the flourish stamp in black running off the left and bottom edges of the page.
2. Ink the edges of a 1 1/2"-wide strip of brown cardstock. Repeatedly stamp a dot pattern to cover the strip, then ink the edges. Glue the strip 2" from the right side of the page.
3. Double-mat a 9 1/4"x6 1/2" photo on black, then white cardstock and glue to the black flourish paper. Ink the edges of a 1 1/4"-wide strip of white cardstock black. Stamp the flourish pattern across the strip in brown. Use two brown brad in each end to attach the strip across the page, overlapping the bottom of the photo.
4. Stamp the script pattern on a white silk flower. Layer the flower on a brown flower, then attach to the right end of the white cardstock strip with three black brads in the center.
5. Stamp the flourish pattern across a brown “f” monogram. Mat the “f” on black cardstock and add a silver mini brad to the right side. Glue the “f” in the top left corner of the photo. Computer journal “family” on white cardstock, crop to a tag shape and punch a hole in the tab. Run embroidery floss through the hole and tie the ends. Loop the floss around the mini brad on the letter “f”, then glue the tag in place on the page.
