• Autumn Splendor printed ribbon
• cream cardstock
• Black StazOn ink pad

Instructions:
1) For both pages; Use the template to trace the long wave pattern onto each sheet of leaves, 1 ¼” from the bottom edge. Cut out and glue one piece to the bottom of each gold lines paper. Ink the edges of each page. Cut two 9 ½”x 8 ½” leaves papers, ink the edges. Glue and tape the edges of a 5” length of ribbon to the left corner. Glue one piece centered on each page. Insert brown brads next to each corner as shown.

2) Photos for the left page: Mat a 5”x7” photo onto cream cardstock. Ink the edges, then glue centered on the right side of the leaves piece. For the right page: Repeat with a 5”x7” photo and a 2 7/8”x3 ½” photo.

3) Journaling for both pages: Use the template to cut out two wavy lines from cream cardstock. Write “jumping in the leaves” three times on each, then ink the edges. Glue along the top of the leaves pieces. Use the template to cut out five arrows from cream cardstock, then write on each and ink the edges. Insert mini brads into both ends of each arrow, then foam tape them pointing into the photos or leaf collage. Write the date on a 1/8”-wide strip of cardstock, ink the edges, then glue to centered on the brown tab. Foam tape it in place.

4) Technique for accenting the photo mats: For the left page—use the template to cut two 4” wavy strips from cardstock. Ink the edges, then glue to the leaves mat as shown. Glue a tag above the wavy strips, then insert a brad in the top. Glue two silk leaves layered on the tag. Zot™ a length of “autumn splendor” overlapping the bottom leaf and photo. For the right page—repeat, making one 4” wavy strip. Two tags each hold a silk leaf and brad. Add another length of printed twill as shown.
