Borders and Borderlines

Scrapbooking

• Draw a double narrow border around a page (or around a double page spread) about a half inch in from the edge of the page. Leave enough room between the two lines to be able to write in quotations, poetry, descriptions, dates, etc. within the border. It also looks nice if you round the corners a bit. You could also omit the border and just write the words around the pages. Put dots, triple dots or hearts between sentences or quotes.
  
  
• Using a Borderlines ruler, draw a line along the edge of a page. Add stickers to the notches or along the line. You can also add letters along the borderline.
  
  
• Use fancy edged rulers to make 2-3 inch borders on one side out of patterned paper, i.e. the rose patterned paper for Mother's Day.
  
  
• Use thin strips of fancy paper to make strips in combinations, colors or patterns around the outside of whole pages or around pictures rather than using the whole sheet. It is a way of using shorter pages of printed paper.
  
  
• Quick borders ideas -- Draw little hearts, flowers, names of people in pictures, or journal around the photo for a border. Draw little dashes like stitches around photos using acid-free markers.
