\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Use a sheet of the grid tonal paper as the base for this layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Cut three strips of paper to measure 12&#8243; x 1&#8243; from the blue, light blue, and beige tonal papers. Adhere the blue strip 1&#8243; from the bottom of the base page, the light blue strip 2-1\/2&#8243; from the bottom, and the beige strip 4&#8243; from the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Cut four 12&#8243; x 2&#8243; strips from the green tweed, green floral, navy dots, and green striped designer papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Using the Border Maker System with the Sunrise Scallop BMC, punch the edges of both sides of the papers. (Tip: Use sticky notes to hold the border in place while punching the second edge.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Adhere the green tweed punched strip with the bottom edge starting 1\/4&#8243; from the bottom of the base page. Adhere the rest of the strips in the order shown, with the bottom edge just touching the top edge of the strip below it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> Cut three photo mats from the dark brown kraft designer paper to measure 3-1\/2&#8243; x 5-1\/2&#8243;.  Crop three photos to 3&#8243; x 5&#8243;and adhere them to the mats. Adhere the mats above the punched border pieces at an angle, as shown above. (Tip: You can apply some stickers at this point, tucking them behind the photo mats as desired.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> Adhere the brown envelope embellishment above the punched strips at a slight angle. Trim down a half mat from the Variety Mat Pack or a piece of scrap paper to measure 2-3\/8&#8243; x 4&#8243; for your journaling, inserting it into the brown envelope embellishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 8:<\/strong> Adhere the rest of your embellishments and stickers to the layout as shown, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 9:<\/strong> Journal on your mat insert as desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This layout is a fun one to create, with plenty of room to make it your own along the way.
