  1. To trim the photo into a circle shape: Use the second smallest half-circle shape on the template to draw around the right side of your photo. Now flip the template over and line up the outer straight edge of the template with the open edges of the half circle, on the left side of the photo. Trace the half-circle shape, then remove the template and connect the empty spaces. Cut around the shape, then mat on pink, leaving a 3/4" wide border all the way around the photo. Ink the edges. Glue centered to a 9 1/2" pale green cardstock square. Glue centered to the brown textured square with red on the back.
  2. Fold the outer corners down and crease 1 1/2" from the point, gluing in place. Glue to the dark pink side of the dark pink/brown cardstock, trimming off excess (reserve excess for later). Ink the outer edges.
  3. Use the template to create the decorative motifs on the folded corners and on the pale green cardstock corners outside the matted photo. Outline the shapes with the brown pen, then use the inkpad to fill in the shapes. Let dry. Punch 12 dots from the excess dark pink cardstock and glue near the inked motifs as shown. Add brown mini brads to the folded corners. Add mini brads to the small flowers and Zot near photo as shown.
  4. Write or computer print journaling on pink cardstock, trim to a rectangle and glue across the bottom of the page. Use the journaling lines to add a line beneath the photo and write names along the edge. Add year to photo mat.
