DIRECTIONS:
1.
Paint an 18" x 24" canvas with Forest Green acrylic paint as the base coat.

2. When the paint is dry spread a generous amount of crackle medium.  Wait 15 minutes until crackle is tacky (read manufacturer's directions), and then when crackle is still sticky apply a second color of acrylic paint, in this case we used Navy Blue. Paint in only one direction only once if possible.

3. Connect all Baseball Playing Cards with Making Memory hinges and foam tape the hinges to the canvas giving the cards room to be lifted.  Each card may still be seen and interactive.

4. Attach book board to the back page of the Safeco Field pamphlet with Xyron X2 Roll-On Adhesive. The book board gives your pamphlet extra strength. Attach ribbon of your choice to the back of the pamphlet. Find the center of the ribbon, that is the point that you will attach to the center of the pamphlet so that one single piece of ribbon wraps around the pamphlet and then ties on the side.

5. Cut shiny gold paper into squares to mount the Jolees’ Yahtzee pieces. Then adhere with Xyron X2 Roll-On Adhesive to the canvas spelling out your team's name.

6. Wad up the tags and then flatten them out. Spray with walnut crystal for the aging effect. The tags are folded shut so that the journaling is on the inside for anyone to read.  Pictures are placed across the front and a ribbon is place in the whole of the tags.

7. Vellum envelope was adhered with vellum spray and used to store the Mariners tickets reminding the owner of all attended games. Tickets can be pulled out and added to with future tickets.

8. Jolees MLB stickers adhered to the canvas.
