Background: Place the border wood grain paper with the border across the top. Cut 12" x 2 1/2" green gradient paper and mat on black cardstock with a 1/16" border. Glue to page 2" from the bottom. Cut 7 1/2" x 2 1/2" of the same paper and cut a V in the left end. Mat on black with a 1/16" border and glue to page 2 1/2" from the top and flush with the right edge. Cut 7" of brown web ribbon and cut a V in the left end. Glue centered on the green piece as shown (I used my finger to dab on a thin layer of Tacky glue on the web ribbon).
Photos: Cut a 4" x 6" photo with the large label die. Stamp the matching stamp onto the die-cut using black StazOn®. Cut out 6 gold flourishes. Glue a flourish hooked over the top of the photo and the bottom, as shown. Glue the photo to the page 3/4" from the right and 1/2" from the top. Cut and stamp another 4" x 6" photo. Glue a flourished hooked onto each side point, as shown (opposite way of the previous photo). Glue to page 3/4" from the bottom and 1 1/2" from the left, leaving the right 3/4" unglued (in order to tuck in journaling).
Journaling: Stamp a large label on light brown texture with black StazOn®. Cut out with the matching die. Place the label vertically on your cutting mat. Trim 1" off of the left side and 1/4" off the top. Print some journaling in the blank area. Mat on gold paper with a 1/16" border. Glue a gold flourish hooked over the right point as shown. Glue to the page flush with the top and left edges. Stamp and cut out the second largest label from the same paper. Print some journaling in the center and mat on gold paper with a 1/16" border. Glue a flourish hooked over the right side as shown. Glue to page tucked under the right edge of the lower photo as shown, 2 1/4" from the bottom and 2" from the right.
Embellishments: Stamp and cut two birds from gold paper. Glue one to the upper left of both the top and bottom photos as shown. Stamp and cut 2 gold flowers and 4 leaves. Glue 1 flower with 2 leaves at the bottom right of the lower journaling label as shown. Glue the remaining flower and leaves at the bottom left of the top photo. Take 2 strands of twine and tie a single bow. Glue to the left (V-shaped) end of the brown web ribbon with Zots™. Make a small knot of ivory twill ribbon and glue to the base of the bottom photo as shown.
