• One sheet of 12x12 cardstock or 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock
• Wavy ~ Ruler
• Black Fine Tip marker to make ribbon
• Red Brush Tip marker to color ribbon
• Basket of Apples Rubberstamp
• Black Inkpad
• Markers to color in the Basket of Apples (colors I used were Baby Blue, Red, Spring Green, Wheat)

1. Stamp the Basket of Apples across the bottom of your cardstock. I stamped four across for the 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock and five across for the 12 x 12 cardstock.
2.  Take your Black fine tip marker and draw a wavy line starting from the top of the stamped image of Apples and approximately 1" in from the edge of the cardstock, continue until you are 1 " from the top of the page., continue all the way around your page until you reach the bottom right corner. Then draw another line between the Basket of Apples to make it look as if the ribbon is going all the way around your page.
3.  Take your wavy ruler and line it back up on your drawn line. Slide your ruler up or down to create a ribbon effect with your ruler over the other drawn line. You decide how thick or thin you want your ribbon to be. Complete drawing the second wavy line around your page to create your ribbon.
4.  Color in your hand stamped image of the Basket of Apples and the ribbon with your markers.
5.  Your page is now ready for pictures and journaling.
