LeNae’s Designer Tip: This page has the tone and feel of young love—just what it’s all about. Silk flowers, sheer ribbons, Great Big Brads™ and Rub-Ons and more give the layout a warm and fuzzy feeling. Yes, you can use rub-ons on a metal embellishment like this 22mm brad—simply insert the brad into your paper, then apply your rub-on.

Instructions
1. Place the lavender striped paper with the stripes running vertically. Trim 1" off both the top and bottom edges of the white floral paper, roll the edges and glue centered across the background.
2. Mat a 5"x7" photo on white cardstock, trim the mat to 1/8" and ink the edges. Mat again on lavender dotted paper, leaving the bottom edge of the mat at 2" and trimming the remaining edges to 1/4". Tear along the bottom edge of the mat, then ink all the edges and glue over the left side of the white floral paper. Add a “love” rub-on to a white big brad and use the brad to attach the large lavender silk flower in the top left corner of the photo.
3. Glue the dotted border cut-out across the page, overlapping the large bottom edge of the dotted photo mat. Cut out alphabet tiles to spell “mine”. Use foam tape for the “m”, “i” and “e” and a lavender mini brad for the “n”, attaching them centered across the bottom of the dotted mat.
4. Cover a Monograms in Minutes “B” with lavender dotted paper. Place the “B” on a cutting mat and use a craft knife to cut out the holes in the middle. Mat the monogram on dark brown cardstock and glue at an angle over the left end of the border cut-out. Use foam tape to attach a letter “e” tile to the right of the “B”. Add a “love” rub-on to the top of a purple big brad. Run a thin strip of lavender paper through the holes on a white button. Attach a small lavender silk flower in the top left corner of the “B” with three white mini brads, then cluster the big brad and the button around the flower.
5. Mat a small photo on dark brown cardstock, trim the mat to 1/8" and glue at an angle in the top left corner of the white floral paper. Tie an 8" length of lavender sheer ribbon into a shoestring bow and use a Zot™ to attach the bow over the left side of the photo.
6. Computer journal onto ivory cardstock, crop to three small strips and ink the edges. Secure the loose ends of a folded length of lavender sheer ribbon behind the left end of one strip, then add a lavender mini brad to the left end of the remaining strips. Glue the journaling strips at varying angles below the smaller photo on the left side of the page.
