Adhere this piece to cranberry cardstock using photo stickers. Trim cranberry cardstock around lilac piece, leaving approximately a 1/8" border. Adhere photo to center of lilac piece.

Cut a lilac strip to measure 2" x 12". Cut a piece of cranberry cardstock to measure 6" x 3". Cut a piece of white cardstock to measure 4" x 2½". Texture entire white cardstock piece according to directions described above. Adhere white cardstock piece to center of cranberry piece.

Tear a rectangle piece of vellum paper to measure 3" x 1¾". Using marker, journal child's name onto vellum paper. Set aside to dry.

Cut two 2" squares and one 1" square from white cardstock. Remove texture plate from ShapeBoss™ tray. Lay stencil set onto tray. Diagonally place large squares between stencil shapes and emboss large heart shape. Repeat for second large square. Place small square between stencil shape and emboss medium heart shape. Lightly chalk onto each heart shape after embossing.

Adhere 3 squares to cranberry cardstock. Trim cardstock around each square, leaving approximately a 1/8"border.

Adhere photo layers and heart layers to background paper. Adhere lilac strip to background paper.

Adhere vellum paper over white cardstock on cranberry piece by punching holes in each corner of vellum piece through cranberry cardstock. Insert eyelet into each hole. Flip layers over onto craft mat. Insert eyelet tool into backside of eyelet. Gently tap 2 - 3 times onto eyelet tool with hammer, or until backside of eyelet begins to curl over. Remove eyelet tool, then tap 1 - 2 more times directly onto eyelet with hammer to finish. Repeat for remaining eyelets. Adhere these pieces over lilac strip.
