The border layouts are lively and a great pattern for me to follow. I will do some of them. Thank you for the ideas.
These borders absolutely put you in a holiday “Spirit for Christmas” mode. Very adorable.
Thanks so much, Krislyn, for the measurements and instructions for these creative borders! They will accent beautiful Christmas pages.
Just love the Merry and Bright. Kudos!
On the “Merry & Bright” border, Step 3 of the instructions should include that the green patterned paper should be cut with the Green Blade. (I know it can get confusing with both greens! :~)
Lovely ideas. Thanks so much for sharing. I’m going to adapt them all into cards, since my customers seem to be mostly interested in cards rather than scrapbooking.
