Fish Netting Page directions

One of my favorite page kits from last summer featuring Bo Bunny's Key Lime Collection



Here is the information to make your own page.  
Edge with Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap Distress ink.

Base page, sprayed with Thermoweb Iridescent glitter spray.














6 1/4" x 8 1/2", corners were shaped with a Crop-A-Dile corner rounder
 


10 3/4" x 3" without cutting the border,  with border 10 3/4"x 3 1/4"













8"x 1 1/4", cut a "v" at the end of the length of the strip to make it a pennant.














9" x 7", corners were shaped with a Crop-A-Dile










 7 1/4" x 2 1/4, unless you are going to border punch one of the long edges.  Cut 7 1/4" x 2 1/2" if adding a punched border.













8 1/4" x 3 1/4" without border punched edged.  8 1/4" x 3 1/2" if punching a border one of the edges.











Add fish netting and fishes as desired.  The fishes are covered with Ranger Ink's Ultimate Thick Embossing Enamel.  Sea horse from Life's A Beach Cricut Cartridge.  Other fish are from Cricut and Silhouette.


The light should be top right corner.
Adhere the 10 3/4 x 3" scalloped patterned blue and yellow paper 5/8" from the bottom and 2 3/4"
   from the right of base page. The scalloped edge should be facing the right side of page.
Adhere the yellow page, with the red scallops facing the top, so that the arches are facing the bottom
   of the page.  Place it 1" from the left and 1 1/8" from the top, ensure that the small green
  seahorse is just under the corner of the page, as seen in picture.
Adhere the blue patterned paper w/ the postage scallop 3 3/8" from the left and 1 5/8" from the top
   of base page.  Postage border should be facing the left of base page.
Adhere the green word paper, ensuring words are upright, 1/4" from the left and 3" from the top of base page.


Adhere the colorful chevron patterned paper 6" from the left and approximately 2" from the top of 
   base page.  The notebook border should be facing the right of base page.
Add the red strip of paper w/ the "V" towards the bottom of paper.  The top of the red will be flush 
   against the top of the green word paper, and 5 1/4" from the left of base page.
Add the matte 3/4" from the left and 3 1/2" from the top.  
Trim the fish netting to your desired size.
Add the fish to the netting.  The fish have all been coated in Ultimate Thick Embossing Enamel.  If you see
 some cracks prior to adhering, you can simple re-heat with heating tool.  This will "re-melt" the enamel.
  I added some pop dots behind the fish and used glue dots to add the netting.
The fish may crack again, so be careful with the page.  

The off white matte is 5x7 and fits a 4" x 6" picture.

Happy 4th of July

SUMMER is in full swing!  

Our youth classes are a great way for children to get out of the house and make  something creative they can share with friends and family.  The youth classes also allow children to share their most memorable moments.  Children are a great source of creativity, and it is fun to watch them alter their projects to match their personality.

I am offering a great youth class this Thursday at the store from 10am-1pm.  The children will have fun decorating their own wall hanging that they can proudly display at home or give as a gift.


  
What are some fun and creative summer activities you have planned for this summer?


Are you planning on seeing some fireworks?  What Fireworks display has the best show and why?
