Add Borders Framework

Skill Level:

Expert

Why make a plain old print when you can spice it up with some framework?

What You'll Need
A favorite picture 12" x 12" Pink speckled patterned paper 12" x 12" Cream cardstock K and Company Antiquity letter stickers Chalk; Craft T products Tan grosgrain ribbon Thin pink ribbon Small brass brads Marvy Le Plume pen, wine Hermafix double-sided adhesive squares

How to Make it

Let a border inspire you
Take a favorite picture to the KODAK Picture Maker and follow the on-screen directions to make an 8" x 10" enlargement. Find the button on the screen that says Add Border and take a look at the many different pieces of art that are available on the KODAK Picture Maker. You can select different borders and preview on the screen how they would look combined with your picture. (Go ahead and experiment - you don't pay for anything until you actually make a print.)Choose the border that frames your picture best, and Print.

Create a coordinating page
Trim a 12" x 12" piece of pink speckled paper slightly and mat it onto a 12" x 12" piece of cream cardstock for your background paper.

Mat your picture
Mat your KODAK Picture Maker print onto cream cardstock and tear the edges. Chalk the torn edges with a light pink chalk. Attach your picture to the background paper with adhesive.

Embellish the layout
Cut an 18" piece of tan ribbon to "hang" the photo on the background paper. Fold the ribbon in half lengthwise and make a crease at the center point, then "nail" it to the background paper with the small brass brad. Tie knots on either side of the picture and hide the ribbon behind the picture with just the knot and a small tail showing on each side.Cut a 14" piece of thin pink ribbon. Run it along the bottom part of the layout and attach the back of it to the paper with adhesive.

Finish with a title and journaling
For your title, affix lettering stickers to cream cardstock, leaving enough edge to tear the cardstock. Tear the paper so that each letter forms its own block. Then chalk the torn edges with the light pink chalk. Center the letters of your title and attach them to your background paper with brads.Create additional journaling blocks with cream cardstock, tearing and chalking the edges. Attach to the ribbon and background paper with adhesive.
