Steps:

1. For background, rip and crumple blue card stock and attach to the left side of the navy card stock.

2. Letter A: Stamp the letter "A" with VersaMark ink onto a confetti tan tag and cut out with the craft knife, making sure to leave the inside of the ‘A’ attached (figure A). Attach to page, folding over the portion of tag that goes off the edge of the page. Remove white paper from the metal edge tag, place over the stencil, and secure to the page with silver brads and linen thread.

3. Letter L: Computer generate and print the letter "L" on vellum. Punch out and attach to a red circle tag by folding one edge over and securing the other edge with a silver brad. Accent with linen thread and attach to page.

4. Letter A: Repeatedly stamp the "@" sign from the numbers set with navy ink on a long confetti white tag. Attach the pointed end to the page with a silver brad and fold the other end over the page and staple (figure B).

5. Letter S: Lightly sponge bleach on mustard tag and let dry. Stamp "S" with mustard ink on the tag and rip corner (figure C). Slip underneath the previous tag and secure with linen thread around the blue card stock border.

6. Letter K: Sponge VersaMark ink directly on blue border and sprinkle with sterling silver embossing powder; shake off excess powder. Heat and add more powder while hot. Repeat three to four times for an enamel effect. While the layers of powder are still hot, stamp the "K" into the melted powder (figure D). Attach two brads to the left of the "K" and wrap with linen thread.

7. Letter A: Computer generate and print the letter "A" on vellum. Attach to olive tag. Fold over top of olive tag over and crimp and fold over bottom of tag. Wrap and tie linen thread around tag. Attach to page.

8. Trim photos and attach to page.
