Step by Step Instructions:

  2. Recycle deep color purple wastepaper. The large handmade sheet on this page was made using a printed purple flyer that came in the mail.
  3. After blending and forming the sheet, lay the support grid from the paper making set on top of the new, wet sheet for texture. Let air dry.
  4. Carefully peel new sheet off screen. Gently tear along two sides to make sheet 8 1/4 x 10 3/4 inches. Attach to 8 1/2 x 11 inch cardstock.
  5. Wrap ribbon on cardstock strip. Attach to page 1 1/2 inches from the bottom.
  6. Attach ribbon to text block, layer on cardstock mat. Attach to page 1/2 inch from top and 1 inch in from side.
  7. Apply photo corners to pictures. Layer on to page as shown.
  8. Add calendar page and little flower tag embellishments. Attach 3d flower stickers as a finishing touch.
