SIGNATURE 3 - Beauty of Life
The pieces in your kit have been precut for you.

In order to complete your layout as shown you will want to distress the edges of all the pieces in the kit.  
You will do this by rubbing fluid chalk ink in dark brown on every edge including all the small preprinted
parts and pieces.  You will also want to round the corners of the quote and the title.

Supplies:
Corner rounder
glue dots
adhesive
dark brown chalk pad
stapler
foam tape

Punch out or cut apart all the parts and pieces in your kit.  Chalk everything and round the corners on
some as shown in the picture.
Beginning with the left page assemble the background as follows.  
           Adhere dot strip to the bottom of the cardstock background piece.
           Adhere floral strip to the right hand side making the edges even as shown.
           Adhere the largest brown piece in the remaining space butting up against the dotted border.  Glue  on the sides and bottom only.  This is a pocket and the top must be left open.

Right page background assembly.
           Glue the wide dotted piece across the bottom of the background as shown on the bottom and sides only to create a pocket.

LEFT PAGE ASSEMBLY:
           1.  Mat the large rose cardstock photomat on the large burgundy photo mat.  Set aside

the photo mat as shown.  
          
 9.  Using a large burgundy card stock piece and the title we will make a tag to go in the large pocket.  
Glue the title along the upper edge only to the cardstock.  Punch two holes side by side and tie a ribbon
through the holes.  The bottom of the title is loose to hang over the pocket.  Place the tag in the pocket.

your kit.  Set aside.
