Designer: Patti Milazzo
Here’s a 3 photo sketch that’s just right for wallet or index sized cropped photos. The design is simple yet can be easily dressed up with detailed accents, as I did on my layout. I textured and layered the accents using Fiskars Squeeze Punches and a few other tools to create the fringed flowers, dimensional butterflies and stacked hearts.

Instructions
(Print version)
1. Cut 11” square of patterned paper; punch corners with 3-in-1 Romantique Corner Punch and adhere to center of cardstock. Attach mini brads to accent the punched corner design.
2. Cut patterned strip at top; round top corners with Round the Corner Squeeze Punch and adhere to page.
3. Cut light colored patterned paper to same width and slightly shorter than 11” square; round bottom corners and adhere to page. Machine stitch along top where stripe paper meets dotted paper.
Note: If you choose to print part of your title/journaling at the bottom of the page as I did, cut your paper to printer size and print your title/journaling as needed to fit. Apply chipboard and stickers at this time as well.
4. Adhere 3 wallet sized photos near upper half of dotted paper.
5. Cut 2 – 12” long strips of patterned paper; crimp strips with the Paper Crimper and accordion fold both pieces. Adhere strips to page – joining to form one long piece across the width of the page – and machine stitch to further secure.
6. To create fringed flowers, use the Ultra ShapeXpress Tool and Circle Template as well as the Round ‘n Round Squeeze Punches for the circles – 2 of each size circle (large flower has 6 layers and the smaller flower has 4 layers).
7. Trim each flower with the Pinking Paper Edgers; crumple the piece a bit; then cut fringes all around. Layer and adhere the pieces together; then punch a small circle from cardstock with the Pop Up Punch and adhere a button to the center. Adhere flowers to the page as shown
8. Squeeze Punch several Mint Condition leaves; distress and adhere around flowers.
9. Squeeze Punch several butterlies (3 each) with the All-A-Flutter Squeeze Punch; stack and adhere to the page, then machine stitch to further secure. Fold wings up for dimension.
10. Squeeze Punch That’s Amore hearts and Round ‘n Round circles; stack and adhere in place.
