Instructions (Print version)

Cover:

1.  Trim two pieces of chipboard to 9" x 6.5" and cover with white cardstock to form front and back covers.
2.  Trim white cardstock to 3.5" wide and run decorative edge down each side. 
3.  Punch two more sets of assorted decorative edges in ascending widths and adhere together onto album cover.
4.  Top border with stamped words, chipboard monogram, and layered flowers with Rain Dot center.

 

Interior Pages:

1.  Trim white cardstock (for as many pages as you need) to 8.75" x 6" and run Threading Water border punch along side of each page, being sure to begin punching at same spot each time so pages will line up evenly.
2.  Trim same number of cardstock pieces to 8" x 6" and run Lattice Entertain You border corner punch around all edges.  Adhere to front of each previously created page to form inserts for photos.
3.  Cover back of each page with flocked paper leaving holes free (or do this prior to original page punching to include paper with scallops).
4.  Using Ultra ShapeXpress, cut out one white Victorian frame for each page and adhere centered onto flocked paper.  Add title and punched flowers.

Interior Journaling Pockets:

1.  Trim light blue cardstock (amount desired) to 4" x 9" and run Threading Water border punch along each side, flipping cardstock over to do second side to be sure punches line up.
2.  Fold bottom up lining up holes leaving a little less than 1" uncovered at top.  Punch tip of medium circle at top of front flap. 
3.  Thread white string through holes on right side and tie at top of pocket.  Insert white journaling strip into pocket topped with punched flowers layered with Rain Dot center.
4.  Add stamped image on layers of punched shapes with decorative-edged borders.  Add detailing with colored pencils and Rain Dots.
5.  For wedding rings, slit one side of large gold eyelet Rain Dot with craft knife.  Thread on another gold eyelet using opening and adhere to heart.

Assembly:

1.  Layer one interior page onto inside of front cover and mark off the 5th hole from both top and bottom.  Remove and punch or drill holes onto front and back covers at markings.
2.  Assemble all pages, pockets, and covers together with two loose-leaf binder rings.
