Instructions  

(1) Cut a strip of paper that is 1 and three-quarters inch wide, cut four squares of paper that are two inch square.

(3)
 This paper is double sided, working on the pink side, stamp background images using Frayed Burlap Distress Ink.

 Trim and adhere photos and heart fabric embellishment to accordion strip.  Arrange on both sides of accordion strip (pattern and plain pink) avoiding the panels on each end.

(5) Sandwich each end of the accordion strip between two squares of paper and adhere.  This is to become the front and back covers that will be behind glass.  The front cover has a torn layered edge, the back cover has a layered scrap of paper with the “Dream” Dictionary sentiment stamped.  Add photo to back cover.

Add “I love you” rub on to front cover.
