Spring Star Book

Tie the twine around the striped Marina ribbon and then through the center of the daisy. Poke each twine end through the button holes and tie in a bow or a knot. Glue the saffron polka dotted piece on the left side of the bird cage patterned paper and the glue dot the ribbon piece at the top edge.
Glue the scallop edge border piece to the back of the white card stock and then glue the whole piece on the right side of the bird cage patterned paper.
Figure out the placement of the Not Quite Navy photo mat. Mark on the navy where the fold line of the bee patterned paper is and then cut the navy photo mat into two pieces.
Using sticky strip (or double sided tape) attach the striped saffron ribbon to the larger piece of the navy photo mat. Tie the smaller piece of saffron striped ribbon in a knot over the now attached ribbon piece. Glue all the circles under the larger piece of navy, you may need double sided tape for the circle that goes under the ribbon. Figure out your placement of the top note die and glue to the bee paper, then attach the navy photo mat (making sure to have your right edge close to but not right at the fold in the bee paper). Attach your tag to the ribbon or hang from the ribbon knot.
Remember that the smaller piece of navy is going to be a pocket. When you glue it to the bee paper first make sure that you have it lined up to match the navy mat on the other side. Second, make sure that you line it up to the fold on the bee paper leaving a slight space. And third make sure to put just a small amount of glue near the edge on the left side, the top and the bottom, leaving the right side open to slip in the lined pull out piece.
Figure out placement of the Espresso photo mat and mark the fold line of the patterned paper. Cut into two pieces. Attach both pieces to the patterned paper, making sure to get close to the fold line but leaving some space. Glue your tag piece, then the flowers and slide in the leaves underneath the flowers in the configuration you like best.


Cut the border punch in half lengthwise and glue half under the Marina photo mat (with the tulip die embossing). Figure out placement of the egg border and cut to leave a space for the fold. Attach to the bird patterned paper close to the fold but leaving a space. Trim with scissors on the left side if it hangs over the page edge at all. Glue the photo mat onto the page.
Glue the other half of the doily border punch to the backside of the egg border piece. Glue the egg border piece to the bird paper on the left and right sides only to leave room for the lined tag to slide in. Make sure to leave a space at the fold and trim on the right if it hangs over at all. Tuck in the white tag and attach on the top and the right side. Cut out the bird and glue to the white tag. Tuck the saffron tag behind the white tag, and under the egg border.

Glue the Espresso scalloped border piece to the left side and trim the top and bottom with scissors. Glue the flower onto the page using a strong adhesive. Put a small amount of glue on the Espresso swirl die cut and tuck under the flower. On the opposite page glue the corner punches down in each corner or wait until attaching a picture and glue the corner punches on top of the picture.

Glue the border punch to the back of the En Francais piece. Glue those two pieces down to the patterned paper. Thread the ribbon through the tag and attach, then glue the tag down to the patterned paper overlapping the En Francais piece. Fold the second piece of ribbon in half and attach using sticky strip to the back of the butterfly circle. Attach the circle using pop dots or foam squares to the tag. Glue on the butterflies.

When assembling all the pages into the book remember to glue only along the edge. Glue one side first lining up the edges with the Marina card stock underneath. Then glue the other side the same way. Because the page is cut shorter it will create the star formation when the pages are opened.
