Supplies Needed:

  • One sheet of 12x12 or 8 1/2 x 11 White cardstock
  • Chanukah Stickers (Stickers used here are by Frances Meyer, Inc. # R 2110-141)
  • Blue Fine/Broad Tip pen
  • Straight Edge Ruler
  • Cotton Ball or Dauber
  • Light Blue Chalk or Ink Pad
  • Scratch paper or newspaper to place under your page for applying chalk or ink.
  • Pencil and Eraser
Instructions:
  1. Take your pencil and the ruler and draw a line on all four sides of the cardstock about ¾" in from outer edge of cardstock.
  2. Then take your Blue Broad Tip pen and go over the drawn line stopping at each corner.
  3. Using the Blue Fine Tip pen draw another line about 1/8 inch away outlining the Broad drawn line on the outer edge.
  4. Erase any pencil lines
  5. Next take your stickers and place on the pencil drawn line around the edges of your page. I started by placing the "Happy Chanukah".
  6. Next along the outside border take your Blue Fine Tip pen and draw the Chanukah symbol by drawing one triangle, then another one right on top but drawn upside down, repeat this here and there spaced about 1½" apart along the outer border.
  7. Then with the Blue Broad Tip pen, scattered along the outer border place dots grouped into 3.
  8. Next, line up your ruler so that the edge of the ruler is lined up on the outer drawn line. Take the cotton ball that was rubbed into the blue chalk and rub from the ruler edge lined up on the drawn line to the outer edge of the page. (Make sure you have newspaper or something under your page so not to get ink on your work surface.)
  9. Your page is now ready for pictures and journaling. (Mat pictures using a color close to the pen you used on the edge.)
