Supplies:

Instructions:
For the Left Page:

  1. Use the yellow/red/green color block paper as the background, turning the paper so the red portion runs along the bottom edge. Mat a vertical photo on solid red, trimming the mat to 1/16” and inking the edges with black. Mat again on green words paper, trimming the mat around the top, left and right edges to 1/4” and trimming the bottom edge to 1/2”, then ink the edges with black. Glue the matted photo 1/4” down from the top edge and 2 1/8” in from the right edge of the page. Add the “Big Smile” quote bubble to the photo.
  2. Use a black pen to journal the names onto the top right corner of the page. Add the “Make A Wish” and “we have so much fun together” tags around the photo, as shown.

For the Right Page:

  1. Use the yellow/red color block paper as the background, turning the paper so the red portion runs along the bottom edge. Mat a vertical photo on solid red, trimming the mat to 1/16” and inking the edges with black. Mat again on green words paper, trimming the mat round the bottom, left and right edges to 1/4” and trimming the top edge to 1/2”, then ink the edges with black. Glue the matted photo centered on the yellow portion of the background paper. Add the “Ta-Daa” quote bubble to the photo.
  2. Add the 3-D artwork along the sides of the photo, as shown. Use a black pen to journal over the left side of the page, journaling both above and below the “fun” label.
