Read on to check out four unique borders!

Krislyn’s Inspiration:

There’s something so warm and inviting about the Gather Together collection; it makes me look forward to the fall and the coziness the cooler temps bring. I love the vibrant floral and leaf designs and the fresh fall color palette. These borders will work well on layouts that celebrate blessings and family and late summer/fall fun of all kinds.

I photographed the borders on beautiful pages from the Gather Together Fast2Fab™ Album. The album is stunning!
