Step 1: Use the sand patterned paper as the base of this layout.

Step 2: Cut a piece of the dark blue patterned paper to measure 11″ x 11″ and adhere it to the layout.

Step 3: Cut a piece of white patterned paper to measure 5-1/2″ x 10-1/2″. Adhere it to the left side of the dark blue paper.

Step 4: Cut a piece of white patterned paper to measure 4-3/4″ x 10-1/2″ and adhere it to the right side of the dark blue paper.

Step 5: Cut a mat from the medium blue patterned paper to measure 4-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ and adhere a photo measuring 4″ x 6″ to the mat. Adhere them to the left side of the layout.

Step 6: Cut two mats from the light blue patterned paper measuring 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″. Adhere two photos that measure 4″ x 4″ to the mats. Adhere them to the right side of the layout.

Step 7: Trace the flowers on the template onto the sand colored paper using the Dot Pens. Use scissors to cut out the flowers. Use the fine tip of the pens to draw/doodle a crosshatch design on the flowers. Adhere the flowers to the layout.

Step 8: Repeat this step with the banner on the template. 

Step 9: Use the template to place hearts, dots and an additional flower onto the layout.
