To make photo mat, cut Creation paper on the diagonal, 1" down from the upper left corner to 1" above
the lower right corner. You can mark each spot with a pencil then draw a diagonal line to cut along. Mount
Creation paper on the black cardstock photo mat. Attach photo.

Sew the ½" piece of black and cream Harlequin paper to the 3½" piece of black cardstock. Sew the ¼"
piece of black and cream Harlequin to the piece of 1½" black cardstock.
|
Step 4
|
Sew the strip of black and red Striped paper across the bottom, 1" up from the bottom.

Attach the letters “Overcoming” to the 3½" piece of black cardstock.

cardstock. Mount on the left side of the layout just above the black and red Striped piece.
