Step-by-Step: Star

My grandson, Evan, at six months is at the "grabby" stage. Everything within reach goes into his mouth for a taste. Evan and I challenge you to grab one of your favorite photos that has an element that you can enlarge for a focal point on your page. With a few helpful tips, you can "taste" and see how this can create a fun and unique page.

Supplies:

• star template
• circle template
• Heidi Swapp foam stamps
• black ink
• Doodlebug Party Mix stickers
• date stamp
• black pen
• BasicGrey Romani papers
• turquoise cardstock

Instructions:

1. Cut a 4" x 12" piece of orange paper. Cut this piece into a 4" x 8 ½" size and attach it to a piece of printer paper and print your journaling. [I used 2peas Varsity font.] Save the 3 ½" piece.
2. Adhere the 4" x 8 ½" orange journaling piece to the bottom left of a 12" x 12" piece of red paper. Adhere the 3 ½" piece to the bottom right.
3. Cut a 1" x 12" piece of circle patterned paper and adhere it to the top edge of the orange paper.
4. Cut a ½" x 12" piece of striped patterned paper and adhere it 1" from the top.
5. Adhere a 5" x 7" photo over the circle patterned paper on the left side of the page and adhere a 3 ½" x 4" photo on the right side.
6. Using a star template cut a gold star to size. Using a circle template, cut a turquoise circle to size. Free hand cut a
   "stem" for your shapes using the turquoise paper. Adhere to page.
7. Punch orange letters for part of title. [I used QK Sunshine font.]
8. Stamp the number "6" in the left hand corner using black ink.
9. Use the Doodlebug stickers inside the star. (Cut around the negative image if you've already used that particular sticker.)
10. Stamp the date in lower right corner.
