A Woodland Wonder Of Evergreen Memories: Winter Scrapbook Borders

Posted on November 20, 2023November 20, 2023 by Krislyn Mattei

When deciduous trees go into dormancy and drop their leaves, what’s left are sturdy brown trunks and branches that seem to blend into the frigid landscape, only to be forgotten until budding spring. But evergreens never take a break; they withstand blustery days and stand out against Old Man Winter’s white coat. The frosty scene turns into a magical wonderland and a forest of opportunities — snowshoeing, nature walks, birdwatching and skiing. Also to add to the list? Making these winter scrapbook borders featuring the Treeline Border Maker Cartridge!
