| “Bite Me.” by Megan Smith »

- Gather your supplies: Crop Addict September 2010 kit, five 3” x 3½” photos (some vertical & some horizontal), cardstock, three colors of coordinating embroidery floss, corner rounder punch, die-cutting machine (or star templates) and adhesives.
- Use the Profit/Path dark green side as your base.
- Trim the dark red with white polka dot Dream Street paper to 10½” x 10½”. Round the corners with the corner rounder punch and adhere this sheet of paper directly to the center of the cardstock, leaving a ¾” margin of cardstock showing around the edge of the layout.
- Cut five 3¼” x 3¾” pieces from the white cardstock and mount your photos onto them, giving you 1/8” mat around each photo. Group and adhere your photos towards the left of your layout in whatever arrangement works best for you. It’s okay if some of the photos overlap.
- Using you die-cutting machine (or star templates) cut one large star from the Dream Street striped paper, a medium star from the star-patterned Dream Street Paper and three small stars from the blue flowered patterned Dream Street paper.
- Adhere the large striped star towards the lower right corner of your layout and adhere the medium star to the upper right and slightly overlapping the large star. If your medium star is hanging off the edge of your layout, trim off the part hanging off.
- Adhere the three small blue stars to your layout – one toward the upper right of your layout, one somewhere in the middle of your photo grouping and the last towards the bottom center of your layout, slightly overlapping one of your photos.
- Make three stars to the right of your layout (the large, the medium, and farthest to the right small) “hang” from the top of your layout by stitching a line from the top of the star to the top of your layout using the embroidery floss. Use different color floss for each star.
- Attach one clasp using a mini brad to the top of your layout, centered directly above the embroidered line that attaches to the largest star. Tie an embroidery floss bow to the clasp.
- Place a circle project sticker in the center of each of the three small stars.
- Using your Thickers and/or rub-on sentiments, place your title in the middle of the large star.
