1ST POOL DIP

Journaling says: Jane's first time in a pool was at Indio with the Bybees and lots of other friends. She seemed pretty indifferent to the whole experience. We'll keep trying!

How to: Punch 1" circles from patterned paper, patterned vellum, gold glitter paper, and gold foil paper then trim each circle into quarters. Adhere the quarter circles in a quilt-inspired background down the left side and across the top of a light pink cardstock background. Add buttons, an acrylic flower, and chipboard heart on the circles for embellishments. Place a crocheted doily on the bottom right corner, spray over it with white mist, then remove the doily. Layer a photo, title stickers, and embellishments over the misted doily. Tuck white and gold doilies under the edges as well as a tag with journaling written on it. Stamp little arrows, sentiments, and the date around the photos.

Supplies: Cardstock, patterned paper, patterned vellum, glitter paper, gold foil paper, album page, acrylic flower, chipboard (anchor, arrows, heart, letters, star), tag, stickers (flowers, star), rub ons (arrow, heart, star), stamps (arrow, date, heart border, sentiments), pen, adhesive: American Crafts; Buttons: American Crafts, Crate Paper; Doilies: Michaels (crocheted), Wilton (gold, white); Sequins: Craft supply; Pearls: Recollections; Pens: American Crafts (black), Sharpie (gold); Ink: StazOn; Spray mist: Studio Calico; Corner rounder, circle punch: Fiskars

Layer photos and title stickers on the left edge and write journaling above and below the photos. Drop aqua spray mist across the page.
