    Anna Griffin designs a beautiful page complete with the details found on a bridal gown, including corset lacing, pleated garter accent and even a covered button!

    Materials:

    2 sheets AG072 Platinum/Cream Toile
    3 sheets AG090 Platinum/Cream Stripes
    1 sheet AG029 Gold Solid
    1 sheet AG089 Platinum Repousse
    1 sheet AG250 platinum climbing rose vellum
    2 yards ivory seambinding ribbon
    2 buttons
    1/8" hole punch
    Decorative scissors

    1. First, take 2 sheets of 12" x 12" paper and seam them together. Measure across the sheets: 2-1/8", 1-1/2", 3-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2-7/8", then repeat. Fold forward, then backward on each side to form a box pleat -- very much like the kind found on a wedding dress.

    2. Next, punch small holes at 1/2" intervals along both sides of the seams. Lace the holes with ribbon (figure A).

    3. Then, create two small vellum accordion-style books (figure B). Mount two small photographs inside each book, using the vellum as a "veil" through which the photos will be viewed.

    4. Tie ribbon around the vellum to close and mount one of each side of the page. Mount printed captions -- if desired -- below each vellum accordion book.

    5. For journaling, laser print onto platinum repousse paper in a 2-1/2" x 9" column. Cut a piece of gold solid paper 1/8" larger than the journal piece. Trim the edges of both pages with decorative scissors as an accent. Mount journal piece to the gold background, then mount in center of page.

    6. To create a "garter," border, cut 3/4" strips of striped paper. Apply tape to back of strips, then fold in small 1/4" pleats. Attach to page.

    7. To complete the garter, cover buttom with paper, then pleat vellum in fan shape (figure C).

    8. Mount the fan-shaped vellum at top and bottom of journaling. Add a paper-covered button to center of fan base (figure D).
