3. Place ephemera letter under black ribbon at an angle. Adhere to page.

4. Place antique photo and frame at an opposite angle of letter and adhere to page.
   
5. Smash bottle caps on hard surface using rubber mallet. Lay out all 6 bottle caps and dab using a sponge with Ranger Adirondack ink. (Note: ink is fast-drying).

6. Place stickers on bottle caps and use Pop Dots to adhere to page.

7. Drill hole into metal disk. Dab Adirondack ink all over. Glue circle punch paper onto disk. Use jump rings to attach gold charms. Adhere Metal disk using Pop Dots.
