Cock-A-Doodle Design
"Page Toppers"
By Helen Naylor and Alison Beachem

Cockadoodle products are the ultimate in making a page go together fast. The title or phrase on a layout makes a layout look really great or not so great. The titles that have been designed by Cockadoodle help make a layout really great. Plus, the page toppers take out a lot of time spent on thinking of, designing (and redesigning), and creating the perfect titles. The page pieces are a great addition to the page toppers. Look forward to many new page toppers and pieces in the near future. Plus, many new and innovative products.

Crop and mount photos on different shades of brown cardstock.  Do computer journaling (CK Journaling font).  Mount on black.  Mark the four corners with dots.  Draw little squiggly lines between, joining the dots.  Trace the title letters on the right side of the stationary. (The one I used had the animals walking around the outside edges.  I tried to get a major part of the animal on the letter.  It was a close fit, and I had to trace one of the letters, an O, on the center part.)  Cut out.  Gently erase the pencil marks.  Mount on black and trim around.   Do a dot to dot at the points and intersections of the letters, and use the squiggly lines to connect.  Mount title letters at the top of the page.  Mount photos on pages and embellish with the die cuts.  Mark dots on the background cardstock on the outside of the photos, and connect with the squiggly lines.

• Die cuts (Page Pieces, Cock-A-Doodle)
• Cardstock and patterned paper (Making Memories)
• Lettering template (Pebbles In My Pocket)
• Pens (Zig Twin Tip and Opaque Writer, EKSuccess)

Cut a 3” x 11” strip of the blue gingham.  Mount on red cardstock, and then trim down.  Mount photos and title boxes.  Using the template, first trace the outline of the letters in pencil, then use a black writer to trace, then a brush tip to fill in.  I cut down the edge of the Page Pieces to remove a little of the white edge.  I just love these Page Pieces!
