6x6 Majestic Layout

I've just completed a couple of projects for a swap using the Majestic papers from Close To My Heart and 3 new stamp sets from the Summer Ideabook and Catalog including New Horizons, Ahoy Matey and Woodcut Alphabet. The colors are Blue Denim, Cranberry, Colonial White and Crystal Blue. I really like how it turned out!

I used the scoring blade of my fiskers paper trimmer to create a crease in the blue mat on the left so that it folds open like a card. I used Colonial White brads to set it off. Underneith is a Colonial White mat for journaling or another photo and I distressed the mat with cranberry ink.

I also used my paper piercer to put a hole in the ribbon from our ribbon rounds on the right hand page, by poking a hole in from the front and then from the back before inserting my brad. To fold the ribbon, I folded it over like a "V" and then folded one side over again so that the strip was face up on each side.
