The word 'Instructions' displayed in a bold, stylized blue font on a black background.

Step 1: Use a piece of Bright White Solid Cardstock for the base for this layout.

Step 2: Using the Rounded Tabs Punch, punch 12 small and 12 large tabs from a variety of dark green designer papers and dark green & navy vellum papers.

Step 3: Using a ruler and pencil, lightly draw a line around the base page, 1-1/8″ from each edge. Adhere the tabs along the pencil lines, spacing evenly and alternating between small and large tabs, as shown. Place 6 tabs along each side.

Step 4: Cut a 9-3/4″ x 2″ strip from dark green ombre designer paper and adhere it along the bottom pencil line. Cut the green droplets vellum to 10″ x 10″. Using a Vellum Tape Runner, adhere the vellum to the center of the layout, overlapping the edges of the tabs. Adhere a diamonds border sticker along the seam, trimming it to 10-1/2″.

Step 5: Cut a 6-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ mat from Dark Green Solid Cardstock. Cut a 6″ x 4″ mat from Bright White Solid Cardstock. Crop a photo to measure 5-3/4″ x 3-3/4. Layer the photo and mats and adhere them to the layout as shown.

Step 6: Crop a second photo to measure 3-3/4″ x 2-1/2″. Adhere it behind the frame embellishment and mount it on the layout.

Step 7: Adhere embellishments and stickers, popping some up with Foam Squares for added dimension.

Step 8: Journal on the notebook embellishment as desired.
