Instructions:

1.    Using the silky sponge, white cardstock, and Lovely Lilac ink, sponge lilac color around the perimeter edges of the white cardstock.

2.    Using the Versamark pad and the smiling baby stamp from Baby Firsts, randomly stamp onto the Lovely Lilac cardstock.

3.    Crop sleeping baby photo to 3-3/8” x 3-7/8”. Adhere to larger piece of Mint Melody cardstock; adhere that to the larger piece of Bliss Blue cardstock.

4.    Using the Bliss Blue ink pad and the feet print stamp from Cuddles & Tickles, stamp image on the smaller piece of Bliss Blue cardstock. Using Night of Navy ink, stamp the sentiment from Cuddles & Tickles onto same cardstock. Adhere the stamped Bliss Blue cardstock onto the Mint Melody cardstock that is ¼” larger in size.

5.    Using a Sizzix die cutting system, cut the Bitty Boy out of a scrap piece of Blush Blossom cardstock and chalk the edges with Rose Romance chalk.  Cut the pajamas using a scrap of Mint Melody cardstock and chalk the edges and seams with Mellow Moss chalk.  Cut the hair using a scrap of Barely Banana cardstock and chalk the edges with More Mustard chalk.  Cut the teddy bear using a scrap of Chocolate Chip cardstock; cover the bear (except for the tummy) with Two-Way Glue and cover with Flocking.  Adhere the hair, pajamas and teddy bear to the boy.

6.    To assemble, adhere the stamped Lovely Lilac cardstock, centered, over the sponged White cardstock. Next, adhere the photograph at an angle to the left-hand side. Adhere the Bitty Boy die cut to the lower right-hand side of the page; adhere the sentiment in the upper-right hand area.
