** (You could stamp and use the lighthouse as well if you don't have the Memories and More Card Packs)
5. Place sailboat DSP on front left panel
6. Place 2 small striped bits and lighthouse to second inside panel
7. Stamp 3 anchors on the left of the last panel then close folded card and add sentiment label to the center on the edge of card. It should just fit on there nicely
