Instructions
1.

Using a computer, write the title in 1” tall letters. Print onto dark pink paper.

2.

Using either a Circle Cutter and guide or the Shape Express and templates, cut a 1½” circle around each letter for the title. Cut additional circles as follows.
8 ¼” Medium Pink circle
4” White circle
6” White circle, then cut a 4 ½” circle from the center to create a ring.

3.

Mat the photograph on white cardstock to create a ¼” wide border around the photograph.

4.

Referring to project for placement, adhere the large pink circle to the light pink background paper. Adhere the 6” ring and the white circles as shown. Allow the circles to hang off the edge of the page then trim away excess even with the edge. Note: It is easier to turn the page over and trim from the back.

5.

Adhere the photograph then place the title circles around the edge of the dark pink circle. With straight edges aligned, adhere the part of the trimmed circle at the top of the photograph as shown. Embellish with adhesive jewels. Letters may also be embellished.

 6.

Adhere a strip of ribbon along the bottom of the paper and down the right side of the paper about 3” from the edge. Trim as needed. Create a bow with excess ribbon then adhere to the page where the strips of ribbon intersect.

7.

Journaling may be added to the circle on the upper right, or create a complementary, right hand page for more photos and journaling.

*Cutting circles is easy using either the Shape Cutter and Circle templates or a Circle Cutter and circle cutter guide.
