Instructions: 

1. Tear Mauve Mist and Mellow Moss 12”X12” card stock down the middle. You will only use ½ of each color. Tear an additional ½” off the one torn side.
    

2. Cut a piece of lace about 3” wide and 12” long. Glue the lace to the center of the black 12”X12” card stock using Tacky Glue. (The glue is white, but it will dry clear).
    

3. Stamp both the mellow moss and mauve mist torn sheets of cardstock with the “It’s a Girl Thing” stamp in both black beauty dye ink and Versamark all over the background.
    

4. Punch and set 6 white eyelets down the torn side of each piece of cardstock.
    

5. Thread the pink lace through the eyelets like lacing up a shoe. Tack down to the black cardstock using tacky glue.
    

6. Trace your title using the calligraphy template. Cut your letters out using an Xacto knife. Sponge the edges of your letters with the black inkpad and a sponge. Glue down using tacky glue.
    

7. Mat pictures leaving ¼” border. Mat one in mellow moss and one in mauve. Attach your pictures to the page using Hermafix tabs.
    

8. Stamp names on a square of mauve card stock using black dye ink and the cursive Making Memories stamps. Sponge around the edges with the black ink and a sponge. Attach to the page using Hermafix tabs.
    

9. Stamp the date on a small piece of mellow moss card stock using black ink and attach to the Layout.

It is that simple and easy, but very elegant!
