2. Attach the matted photograph towards the top of the page, leaving enough room below the photo for your pet’s name and journaling boxes.

3. Using two-sided tape, exposed only on one side, attach the ribbon to the back of the page while centering it on the additional inch of matting under the photograph.

4. Journaling boxes can be create on a computer and printed out or handwritten. Choose three categories and create lists about your pet. (Examples: qualities, favorites, nicknames) The journaling box should be approx. 1.75 in x 1.75 in.

5. Add a finishing touch to your journal boxes by using the thin black pen to create dashes and dots all the way around the edge of the box.

6. Attach your pet's name in metal letters starting at the left side of the page.

7. Clip the decorative paper rings over the top of the ribbon and slide into position based on the sizes of your journaling boxes. Slide the journal boxes into the paper rings.
