    Small stickers or other embellishments can be added to the borders to personalize them and coordinate with your overall page theme. To the right of this example, a coordinating journaling block has been created.

    Guest Dawn James demonstrates a technique for creating easy scrapbook page borders in this short video.

    Designer and consultant Dawn James creates a variety of borders that can be used for all seasons -- and different page themes.

    Materials:

    Short Cuts paper pack in Zesty Geometrics
    Tape runner
    Fine-tipped pens
    Black scrapbook page
    Stickers

    1. Tear apart desired geometric shapes from the paper pack. Mix and match as desired, using shades the correspond to your seasonal page.

    2. Use tape runner to join the borders together.

    3. Add stickers to embellish the borders as desired -- or use a pen to add details.

    4. Add finished border to page.

    5. Reverse the colors to create a small journal box or to surround matted photos.
