1. Create a color blocked background by cutting out a 6 1/2”x8” aqua blue rectangle and gluing it to the upper left of a 12”x12” sheet of burgundy. Next, cut a 6 1/2”x4” rectangle of burgundy patterned paper and glue to the lower left. Finally, cut a 5 1/2”x4” rectangle of striped paper and glue to the lower right. Glue the brown paper border along the top of the 4” tall rectangles.
2. Mat a 5”x7” photo with white cardstock, leaving a 1/16” wide border. Offset a 5”x7” brown cardstock rectangle behind the photo and glue to the large aqua rectangle on the page. Embellish a burgundy tag with a small heart Dazzle™ and knotted ribbon length. Hang the tag from the left corner of the photo.
3. Use an emery board to distress the edges of the monogram letters. Place the letters in the burgundy area of the page as shown, embellishing the “e” with blue ribbon.
4. To line the inside of the heart stickers with just the right size paper heart, place the sticker upside down (adhesive side up) on aqua paper and traced the inner heart shape. Remove the sticker and cut out the paper heart. Place the heart on the back of the sticker within the heart shape. Adhere the heart between the “l” and “v” to spell “love.” Decorate the “u” with a swirl sticker.
5. Glue the cut-out “moments” to the bottom left rectangle. Journal on white strips of cardstock and ink the edges black. Glue to the page as shown adding Dazzle™ swirls and hearts, as shown.
