- Use decorative-edged scissors to trim AG003 paper to 11-1/2" x 11-1/2".
- Use craft knife to trim the AG027 paper to 11" x 11".
- On the reverse side of AG027, measure and draw a grid with the following dimensions: 1-1/4" x 2-1/4" x 3/4" x 2-1/4" x 3/4" x 2-1/4" x 1-1/4" (horizontal grid lines).
- Create the vertical portion of grid with the following dimensions: 1" x 3-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 3-1/4" x 2". Once the grid is measured and marked, cut center rectangles of grid to create six windows measuring 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" each (figure A).
- From scraps, cut six frames measuring 2-3/4" wide x 3-3/4" high. Cut out center of grames, leaving a 1/2" border (figure B).
- Crop photographs as needed to fit within frame area. Adhere framed photos to traced grid on AG003 paper (figure C).
- Edge gold AG027 with gold satin ribbon. Cut strips of chipboard and adhere to back surface of window page to create dimension. Center and mount hold window page over the photos.
- To create journaling tags, use oval cutter to cut six small ovals.
- Make small incisions on each end of oval, then thread ribbon through the incisions on each end. Trim ribbon edges diagonally.
- Handwrite or laser print journal titles on ivory paper. Cut to fit inside ovals and adhere to page with foam dots.
