- To make the pocket, first cut blue and white patterned paper at a 45-degree angle. Mat on brick cardstock.
- Trim the brick cardstock at the same angle, leaving 1/2" border extending beyond the edge of the patterned paper.
- Apply double-sided adhesive to sides and bottom of pocket -- leaving angled top edge free -- then mount to sheet of dusty blue cardstock (figure A).
- Next, begin decorating the angled memorabilia pocket. Adhere sports-themed die-cuts (figure B).
- Then, use scissors to cut shanks from button backs (figure C).
- Use glue dots to adhere buttons to the angled pocket (figure D).
- To add pennant to pocket, first punch two equally spaced holes on straight outer edge. Use eyelet setter and hammer to add eyelets to the holes. Lace navy ribbon through holes, tie and cut.
- Finally, turn lettering template upside down and backwards on the back surface of brown patterned paper (this will prevent traced lines from showing on the front surface). Trace and cut letters.
- Turn letters to front surface, adhere to title strip (figure E), then adhere strip to finished page .
- Add memorabilia to pocket.
