 Instructions: 

1.  Cut one 5 inch circle from black, one 4 ½ circle from River Rock, one 4 ¼ circle from black, and one 3 ¾ from pomegranate.

2.  Use distressing tool on edges of 4 ¼ black circle, stamp River Rock circle with Canvas stamp. Cut 24 inch length of ribbon, glue down center of case from front to back. This will allow the case to be closed.

3.  Adhere 5 inch circle to case over the ribbon, add doily, layer River Rock circle on top of doily, then adhere black circle on top of that.

4.  Use bird on branch stamp from Birds Galore and ink with white craft ink. Stamp on Pomegranate circle.

5.  For Chalkboard technique: Use a sponge dauber and pick up green chalk pounce on the branch and leaf part of the image, use clean dauber and repeat with black chalk on the bird. Next use a swiffer cloth and gently remove excess chalk from around the image.

6.  Use memories stamp ink with white craft ink and stamp under bird image. Ink just memories with Pomegranate stamp on white cardstock. Cut out and layer over the word memories.

7.  Use brad in center of small and large Prima flower. Adhere to bottom left using mini glue dots. Adhere pomegranate circle on top of  black circle

8.  Cut two River Rock, two White, and two Pomegranate pieces of cardstock for the inside pages. I used the plastic insert to make my pattern for the pages.

9.  Stamp, embellish, and layer pages as desired.

10. Add photos.

Don’t forget to cut a circle for the inside case lid, front and back. You can use this space for journaling for the scrapbook.
