Materials List:
  1. My Mind's Eye: "So Sweet" Theme Set (MME021)
  2. Imagination Project: Raw Circle Coasters (IP015)
  3. Heidi Swapp: Large White Florals (HS011)
  4. Heidi Swapp: Sandpaper (HS055)
Optional Materials:
  • Red Scrap Paper: Approx. 2" square piece
  • 12x12 Scrap Cardstock Paper
Instructions:
  1. Cut a 3" strip off the top of the blue floral paper. Flip this cut piece over to the green side and glue to bottom of 12x12 scrap paper. Glue the rest of the blue floral paper on the 12x12 scrap paper above the green strip. Gently sand around the perimeter of the page.
  2. Cut a 12" strip from the brown stripe paper, including a stripe. Sand the edges and adhere on the seam between the green and blue papers.
  3. Cut two silk flowers in half, taking care to cut BETWEEN petals.
  4. Cut two 1 3/4" coaster circles in half. Use one piece as a template to cut half circles from red scrap paper, green paper (back of floral) and blue (back of brown stripe). Adhere each piece to a coaster half-circle and gently sand all edges.
  5. Cut a small heart from red scrap paper (big enough to cover the hole in the "Children" tag), sand, and adhere over hole on tag. Glue entire tag to bottom right of page, on the black stripe.
  6. Sand edges of photo, if desired. Adhere transparency to picture, using glue dots hidden under flourishes/lines. Adhere photo (the photo in Sandy's example measures approximately 6 3/4"x4 1/2") about 1" from top and 1" from left edges.
  7. Adhere three floral halves to page. Put one on the top edge so that it looks like it is growing out of the green flower stem printed on the page. Top with green coaster half. Put second floral on right edge, top with red coaster. Place third floral centered on the bottom edge, top with blue coaster.
