<\/div>\n\n\n\n1. Lay Out Your Base Pages<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>
<\/strong>Start by placing your left and right base pages on your workspace. Each page is labeled on the back with the layout number so you can easily confirm they coordinate.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHint:<\/strong><\/em> The Base Page will be the last paper in the paper pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/creativememories.com/apps/thepages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ALBUM-KIT-GUIDEBOOK-3-1024x461.png\")

<\/strong>Locate the matching cut-apart sheet and turn it over to view the cutting guide on the back. Use scissors or a 12-inch Trimmer to cut along the printed lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTip:<\/strong><\/em> Cut the longest lines first, then move to the shorter sections for clean, complete cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/creativememories.com/apps/thepages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4-4-1024x461.png\")

<\/strong>Each embellishment is labeled on the back with a layout number and letter, such as 1A or 1B. Match these to the sketch to know exactly where each piece belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/creativememories.com/apps/thepages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/5-4-1024x461.png\")

<\/strong>Use a Repositionable Tape Runner to secure your pieces. Crop photos to the sizes indicated in the Guidebook and place them in the premeasured spaces. Photos can be added before or after embellishing, depending on your preferred layering style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/creativememories.com/apps/thepages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/7-1024x461.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n7. Add Your Journaling<\/strong>
<\/strong>Journal directly on your layout with short facts or a meaningful story. For best results, we recommend a Dual-Tip or Micro-Tip Pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n8. Protect Your Layout
<\/strong>Place your finished layout in a Pocket Page inside your album to protect it.<\/p>\n\n\n\nExample shown from the Global Getaway Album Kit<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nOne System.
