How to Create:

1. Place Family Pets Paper 21 as background.  Then Place Down to Earth Paper 7, sizing 1/8” smaller than the first paper. 
2. Place Down to Earth Frame_Brown to page.  Stretch it to 10 ½” w x 7” h. Add shadow. (This is the back cover to the “book”.) 
3. Place Down to Earth Cardboard on page and size to about 6.5” x 5.5”.  Copy this and paste 4 times.  Add a shadow to each and place on top of each other, slightly offset as shown, so as to appear as pages of a book. 
4. Likewise to create the other half of “book”, place Down to Earth Cardboard, flipping it horizontally to create the “pages” on the right side of the book.  Copy and paste it 4-5 times, again positioning each to create the look of pages.  Add shadow. 
5. Add Down to Earth Frame-Brown to page and place on the left side as shown.  Place Frame_Flower on right as shown, flipping it horizontally. Add photos, arranging them behind the frames. Add Bow as shown and apply shadow to each piece. 
6. To create the dog collar, choose Family Pets Paper 20.  Cut to 5/8” x 12”.  Cut the paper lengthwise using the straight, shaped edge cutting tool. (place the tool close to the bottom edge of paper strip as it will cut above the line) Choose the Paw shape, sizing so that there are 7 paws spaced evenly as shown.  Choose to keep both sides after cutting.  Click off of paper and then back on to one of the cut pieces.  Move the paper one or two clicks to one side and one to two clicks down, then add a shadow.  It creates sort of an “embossed” type look.  Add 6  Down to Earth gold brads, sized about ¼” in size.  Align and space in between paws as shown. Add shadow.  
7. Trim the blue paper so that it is about 1/8” away from the collar. (both above and below)
8. Add 2 Down to Earth Frame_Scallops as shown, one smaller than the other, to create a “buckle”. Add shadow. 
9. Add Family Pets Made with Love two times on the bottom of page as shown.  
10. Add Family Pets Genuine Love tag, erasing or cutting off some of the chain so as to look correct as it hangs off the circle. 
11. Add the title using Fancy Text font from the Divine Digital Kit.  I created each word separately so that I could size them differently.  Change the color of the text to a dark brown. Likewise, add “two good dogs” again using the Divine Fancy Text, changing the color to a taupe.  Add the journaling  text using Courier New font ( I used font size 13).
