Adhere to the board using Ultra-Thin Glue Dots. 8. Cut out another piece of white anchor paper that is 9" x 7”. Ink the edges and adhere to the center of the board just under the clip using some Ultra-Thin Glue Dots. 9. Cut out a 1 ¼” strip of red paper, distress the top edge and adhere to the bottom of the board using 1" Glue Lines. Trim the excess using a craft knife. ~Grace *Glue Dots products and other supplies for this project are available at your local:* [![A.C.
