So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover. - Mark Twain"

Cut Gray Star paper to 8-1/2” x 12”, place in printer and print. Next measure down from verbiage 1/2” and that will be the bottom of your cut. Using that point measure up 6”.
