Supplies Needed:

  • One sheet of 12x12  or 8 1/2 x 11 Cream cardstock

  • Pooh & Friend Stickers (The ones used here are by Hallmark.)

  • Wavy Ruler

  • Ivy Green Acid Free Ink Pad

  • Small leaf rubberstamp (bee hive if desired)

  • Black Fine Tip Pen

  • Pencil & Eraser

  • Acid Free Chalk - Lt. Brown and/or Md. Brown

  • Sponge Dauber to use with chalks

Instructions:

  1. Take your pencil and your wavy ruler and draw a wavy line around the outside four edges of your cardstock about 1 inch in from the edge.

  2. Line your wavy ruler back on your wavy drawn pencil line and take your Black fine tip pen and draw dashed tiny lines along the wave up to where the corners meet. Continue all the way around your page.

  3. Erase pencil lines.

  4. Next, take your sponge dauber and rub into the brown chalk and lightly rub here and there on your cardstock on the entire page. Use another shade of brown if desired. (I used the two lighter shades of brown out of the four in the kit I have.

  5. Stamp the small leaf along both sides of the wavy dashed line using the green ink pad. (Fall color inks if you want to use this for fall pictures.)

  6. Place your stickers where you wish to place them along the dashed wavy line. For the 12x12 page I started by placing the corners first. I also cut out all the stickers and laid them on the page to see exactly where I wanted them before sticking them into place.

  7. Last I added a finishing touch of the dashed lines behind the butterflies and the hand drawn bees.

  8. Your Page is now ready for pictures and journaling.
