Snorkeling Adventure
Crop the photos, then mat on coral paper with 1/16" borders. Mat again on yellow paper with 1/8" borders and on blue paper with 1/32" borders. Cut out a two-tile section from Nostalgia flowered tiles paper and ink the edges. Turn over and fold the ends downward, following the illustrations, creating a corner. Slip the corner with the opening in front onto the upper left corner of one photo and glue. Repeat for a second corner and glue to the upper right corner of the second photo. Insert two mini brads into each corner as shown.
Cut a strip of Nostalgia flowered tiles paper, two tiles wide, cutting along the edges of the tiles. Ink the edges brown. Glue the photos on the Nostalgia yellow dots paper, leaving the lower edges unglued. Place the tiles strip below the photos, slipping the photos behind some tiles as shown, and glue.
Cut a 4" blue taffeta ribbon and tie to the slide. Cut a 12"x 3/8" strip from Nostalgia stripes paper and ink the edges. Thread the slide onto the strip, positioned near the right end. Glue across the tile border center as shown.
Journal on the blue/cream label and attach a metal loop on each end with a yellow brad. Tie a blue taffeta ribbon on each loop, then glue the label to the background. Glue buttons on the background flowers. Knot 3" lengths of 1/8" wide blue grosgrain ribbon and glue one to each large button. Knot 3" embroidery thread lengths and glue one to each small button. Trim the ribbon and thread ends. Tie 6" embroider floss lengths between the brads on the two photo corners, finishing in bows. Trim the ends.
