Step 1: Cut the brown paw print designer paper to 11‑1/2″ x 11‑1/2″ and adhere to the center of a sheet of Bright White Cardstock.

Step 2: Use the Custom Cutting System — with the smallest heart pattern from the Gemstone Cutting Patterns — and the Red Blade on the outside edge to cut hearts from red bone designer paper and light blue striped designer paper. Using the Green Blade on the outside edge of the same heart pattern, cut two hearts from Bright White Cardstock. Adhere the designer paper hearts to the cardstock hearts.

Step 3: Use the Custom Cutting System — with the smallest heart pattern from the Gemstone Cutting Patterns — and the Red Blade on the inside edge to cut eight eggs from Bright White Cardstock. Use the Green Blade on the inside edge to cut four eggs from red bone designer paper and four eggs from light blue striped designer paper. Adhere the paper eggs to the cardstock eggs.

Step 4: Arrange and adhere the heart and egg shapes at the top of the layout to create two large paw prints.

Step 5: Cut your Red Cardstock to 12″ x 4‑3/4″ and the paw print / bone designer paper to 12″ x 4‑1/2″. Layer and adhere the pieces to the bottom center of the layout as shown.

Step 6: Cut three 4″ x 4″ photo mats from Cornflower Cardstock. Crop three photos to 3‑3/4″ x 3‑3/4″. Adhere the photos to the mats and adhere to the center of the layout.

Step 7: Cut three 4″ x 3/4″ pieces from Cornflower Cardstock and three 3‑3/4″ x 1/2″ pieces from Bright White Cardstock. Layer and adhere the strips as shown to use as journaling boxes.
