STEP 1: Grab your Poolside Houndstooth patterned paper.  Place the houndstooth pattern face up and place your page face down on top of the paper.  Trace the outline of the page and cut out.  Adhere the pp to the page, sand the edges and ink.  


STEP 2: Cut a piece of Mocha Geometric die cut paper 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".  Round the corner on the top left.  Ink and adhere to the page using the photo as a reference for placement.


STEP 3: Cut a Poolside scalloped circle journaling spot vertically.  Ink and adhere below the Mocha Geometric pp.  


STEP 4: Using an Exacto knife and cutting mat, cut a flourish from the Mocha Floral pp and glue to the page.  If you don't want to hand cut the flourish, you could always move the dimensional sticker down to cover the "seam" between the 2 papers.  Remember, you don't have to follow my directions 100%.  You can make this your own by substituting different accents and papers.


STEP 5: Hole punch the holes for the album rings using a Cropodile or hole punch.


STEP 6: Embellish with pearls and Mocha dimensional sticker.  NOTE: I used my pearls to accent the swirls.

Binding the album:

Using rings, combine all of the pages.  Then embellish them with ribbon in shades of blue and brown.

Now, you can add photos and journaling.  I plan on adding photos and journaling about all of things I am thankful for.  I hope you enjoy your album!!!

 I just accidently unplugged my internet...oops.

I have a question.  I picked out my own paper & embellies...but I DID order the album.  So I should be ok cutting the paper before it gets here, right?  Or should I wait.  Obviously I can't cut the flower...but maybe some of the other stuff?

[Aimeeee]

 This is just beautiful!

[raynbow63]

You sure could.  The papers that I gave you the dimensions for would be very easy to pre cut.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!!
