    Layout 1: Happy Birthday

    Instructions:

    Cut the Elle's Studio Big Dot pattern paper to 12 x 7.5 inches from the bottom edge making sure to keep the star stripon the bottom (the strip is also known as the upc.)

    Cut the Elle's Studio High Five Star pattern paper to 5 x 12 inches.

    Tape the 2 papers together on the back side, making sure the layout is square at 12 x 12 inches.

    Trim the bottom edge (the strip is known as the upc) of the Elle's Studio Letters and Numbers pattern paper. Adhere thestrip across the seam. You can fancy cut the scallops if wish. I left it white because it was boyish layout and thoughtthat might make it look to fancy.

    Cut 2 - 6.25 x 4.25 inch photo mats from white cardstock (not included in the kit) and cut a photo strip mat to 8.5 x 2.25inches.

    Center 2 - 4 x 6 photographs on the 6.25 x 4.25 white cardstock mat. Adhere them to the lower right edge of the layoutas shown. Leave about 1/16 inch on the right edge, just so the green pattern paper peeks out a little bit.

    Dress up a couple of the edges with the blue star washi tape.

    This picture shows the detailing of the upper right edge of the layout. Thearrows are hand-cut from the Elle's Studio Letters and Number pattern paper.Feel free to cut and layer the arrows as preferred, mixing up the arrow colorsand sizes.

    Place the "snapshot details" Elle's Studio label on the top edge. I used atechnique to make the printed black line look like stitching by poking littleholes every few mm along the printed stitched line .

    Now for the title of the layout...

    Using a few pop-dots, adhere the "the perfect day" Chic Tag about 5 inches from the bottom edgeof the layout and center it between the left edge and the first photo mat. Apply the Echo Park alphabet stickers so the title reads "Happy Birthday."

    Place the Echo Park "Currently..." sticker under the title portion. Layer the green 'life documented"sticker on the lower edge.

    Embellish with a few of the MME enamel dots.

    Between the photos on the lower portion cut out the birthday age from theElle's Studio Letters and Numbers pattern paper. Place directly in the center using pop-dots. Add an enamel dot after the number. To the left of thenumber use a stack of 2 pop dots to the "this" Elle's Studio tidbits. This will giveit some extra height and adhere as shown overlapping the number. Trim outthe 'my boy' label from the Ell's Studio cutout sheet and slid it under the circletidbit. In the end this should read something like "My boy, this age 8."

    This picture shows the details of the upper left side. The "film strip" cardstock is placed flush with the left edge and about 1.75 inches from the top. For

    added texture rip off some washi tape pieces and add it to the corners.

    Tuck the bottom edge of the "today was the best day ever" Echo Park sticker behind the film strip matte. Place the "remember the moment"sticker above it. Add the 2 tiny arrows as shown. Pointing to the "remember this moment" subtitle.
