I wanted to try to put something fun that resembled fireworks or streamers on the page, so I folded ¼ strips of paper in a “fan” fold, like this:

When I put my layout together, I first glued down flat strips of paper.

Then I added the folded strips to make them pop off the page.

Journaling reads: “You are protected and safe. You have good healthcare to keep you healthy. You can get a good education. You are free to worship God as you please. You have clean water to drink. You can marry whoever you are in love with. You are free to be whoever you want to be. Never forget, little one, that freedom always comes with a price… always be thankful for this great land of ours.”
