The Best Times
design by Amy Howe
1. Center and mount one of the 11" square pieces of ruled paper to a 12x12" piece of white cardstock. Attach the orange/multicolor piece of banded paper on top of the ruled paper as shown. Mount one of the strips cut from the blue border strip inside the left edge of the ruled paper.
2. Using image-editing software, size your vertical photo to about 7x10", then type your journaling directly onto the photo and print. Mount the photo just inside the right edge of the ruled paper, then attach the second blue strip on the right edge of the photo.
3. Before adding embellishments, stitch some areas of the layout as shown. Amy used a combination of tags, letters, and paper from the kit, backed with embellished scraps of chipboard, to create her funky title and embellishment. She made a layered arrow, cut freehand from her stash of cardstock scraps. Spare buttons and whimsical dots made by using a white paint pen top off the design.
