Learning About Butterfles - Best of Life Digital Additions for MAC

Designed By: Jen Lessinger

 Ingredients:

Ingredients (Canada):

 

How to Create:

  1. Open a blank 12x12” document.
  2. Insert 4 teal photo mats. 
  3. Insert 4 photos, and resize them to be the same height and width as the photo mats. 
  4. Position the photo mats and the photos as shown, using the align tool. 
  5. Insert a white rectangle that is slightly smaller than the photo mat. Use the corner cutter for the corners. Copy and paste the white shape 3 more times and center each shape on the teal photo mats.
  6. Insert a text box. Type the journaling for one box using Century Gothic as the font. Position it on the top right white shaped box. Copy and paste the text box 3 more times and place each text box on a teal mat. Type the journaling. 
  7. Insert a bracket shape. Color it red and give it a 3 pt black outline. Copy and paste the bracket 3 more times, and rotate 2 of the brackets 180 degrees. Move each bracket to the edge of a photo, as shown.
  8. Insert a text box. Change the font to Giddyup Standard and type the title. Center the title between the brackets as shown. 
  9. Insert 3 butterflies. Fill them with the brown patterned paper and give each butterfly a 3 pt red outline. Slightly rotate the butterflies and position as shown. 
  10. If needed, adjust the text around the butterfly by using a hard return at the end of the text where a break is needed.
  11. NOTE: I center justified all of the text boxes except for the top left box, which is left justified. I also left a thin white border around the edge of the page (I didn’t place the photos/photo mats flush to the edge).
