To create this layout, you will need:

Layout by **Krislyn Mattei**, Creative Memories Design Team Contributor

Step 1: Use a sheet of Bright White Solid Cardstock as the base for this layout. Cut a 12″ x 4″ strip with the navy brushstrokes tonal paper and adhere 1/2″ from the bottom edge of the base page.

Step 2: Create the border by cutting a 4″ x 12″ strip with diagonal dash designer paper. Using the Decorative Waves BMC, punch both long sides. Cut a 2-1/2″ x 12″ strip with the fresh mint tile tonal paper and adhere on the punched strip. Cut a 2-1/2″ x 12″ strip with navy brushstrokes tonal paper. Using the Decorative Waves BMC, punch both long sides. (Tip: Adhere sticky notes to one edge to add width to the strip so it is secured in the paper holder.) Adhere the punched strip on the border. Cut a 1-1/16″ x 12″ strip with hexagons designer paper and mount on top. Adhere the border 1/2″ from the left edge of the layout.

Step 3: Cut the “Chasing Wonder” mat to 4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ and adhere on the navy strip. Crop a photo to 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ and adhere on the navy strip. Adhere two 4″ x 6″ photos on the layout as shown.

Step 4: Adhere embellishments and stickers, popping some up with foam squares for dimension.

Step 5: Journal on the embellishment tag as desired.
