This day is just flying by!
So much of North America is experiencing some beautiful weather this weekend! Here in Minnesota it is deer hunting weekend, which mean many of us ladies are enjoying a nice quiet “girls weekend”!
Let’s talk about borders! Borders are simple, adorable, and functional. They also add color, and design to any simple page layout.

Love these pages and borders! Look very easy to make and can’t wait to make them for my own pages! Thank you!
Such cute layouts. I usually don’t do much with borders, but this is good inspiration for me to try :-)
I like the look of both tree borders, but do not understand the directions for the 2nd one. :(
I’ll update the post with Step-By-Step Photos tomorrow – check back!
Thank you for the creative idea on using the Xmas tree border. I have most of the borders but have run out of ideas on how to create ideas with them.
