Step 1: Use the green lighthouse designer paper as the base for the layout.
Step 2: Cut a 7” x 12” strip of wood patterned paper and adhere it to the layout, about 1” from the left edge.
Step 3: Cut two 6-1/4” x 4” pieces of White Cardstock. Punch each corner with the Essentials 4-Way Punch. Tuck two 6” x 4” photos into the notches of the White Cardstock and adhere them to the wood patterned piece.
Step 4: Cut a 12” x 2” strip of navy dot paper and adhere it to the bottom of the layout, about 1/4″ up from the edge. Using the On the Vine Border Punch, punch a vine from green patterned paper and mount it on the navy dot piece, about 1/4″ from the top edge. Mat the diamonds geometric laser cut border on a 12” x 1-1/8” strip of White Cardstock and mount it on the lower edge of the blue dots paper, overlapping the vine.
Step 5: Adhere the lighthouse laser cut border to the right side of the layout, just above the navy dot strip.
