Instructions
|
|
1. |
Preserve your heritage
pictures
Before your family's old photos fade away with the years, bring
them to a KODAK Picture Maker and save a copy. The pictures you
copy should be snapshots or, if they were professionally taken,
you'll need a letter from the copyright holder giving you permission
to reproduce them.
Follow the on-screen directions to make 4" x 6" prints
and a 5" x 7" enlargement of your feature photo. We
used the Print Sepia-tone button on the KODAK Picture Maker to
make all the different snapshots turn out in the same color family.

2. |
Create your background
Trim the Heritage Golden Wide Striped paper slightly and mat it
on the beet cardstock, leaving a small a 1/2" cardstock border
on all four sides. Repeat for the second page of the layout. |
|
3. |
Give your pictures a
place of honor
Mat the 5" x 7" focal point picture on beet cardstock,
and then again on tan cardstock. Cut a 6" x 11" piece
of American Flag Gold Star paper. Mat the picture on the top, leaving
a 3" border on bottom for your title. Mat the entire piece
on beet cardstock. Add metal embellishments to the corners of your
photo using mini glue dots.
Mat your accent pictures on brown cardstock and then again on
beet cardstock. We gave two of the matted pictures a torn-edge
accent for texture. Adhere the pictures to your background pages. |
|
4. |
Add journaling and a
title
Use alphabet stamps and brown ink for the word “Our”
in the title. Use a lettering template for the word “hero”
using Grapevine paper. Cut out the individual letters, mat them
on beet cardstock and affix to the lower part of the title block.
On a block of the American Flag Gold Star paper, hand-write your
journaling message, or use a computer to choose a font and print.
Mat the block on Grapevine paper and beet cardstock. Attach all
pieces to the background paper. |
