Create Vibrant 12×12 Kids Scrapbook Borders With Super Duper

A vibrant border can tie a page together, and there are so many ways you can customize your borders to fit the look of your page! Take, for example, using 8×8 Super Duper kids scrapbook supplies to bring lively colors and fun to a 12×12 page. Yes, you read that right! Want some tips on how to effectively use the 8×8 Super Duper collection on your 12×12 pages? Read on to learn more!

I created a bunch of borders with the help of a few matching colors of cardstock. The borders I made use either the Super Duper Boy or Girl Paper Packs, but I think they’d work just as well mixed and matched! When adding these borders to my pages, I’ll simply mat a few photos with pieces of Super Duper Paper and the layouts will pop!Super-Duper-Collection-Borders-Creative-Memories-5
