New Ideas for border stickers

I've been following along with the free monthly classes at 2 Peas in a Bucket. The class on the 10th of every month is Products you Love Every Which Way. This month she showcased border stickers. I have lots of these lying around in a pencil box (great way to store them by the way) that I had never done anything with. The designer had 3 great ideas to try:
1) Pick out several borders and stick them on some muted paper in randomly spaced horizontal lines across the paper. (I forgot to take a picture of this but I used about 4 different border stickers and then added pics. Not too fancy, but stickers used.

2) Decorate chipboard using layers of border slickers. This was a little more difficult than it looked and I didn't know if I was going to like the results. But I did 2 large letters and a flower.
I could have inked the edges before or after, but I left them raw. Also I did a scissor trim as I went and then exacto/finger blade trim afterwards (the hardest part) The instuctor suggested to use your widest borders 1st and not necessarily butted up to each other. So another words lay a few down then start filling in.


3)Make a frame around a picture by pleating the border stickers. I didn't want a full frame around this picture, so I elected to just have random length strands coming out of the side of the photo. This was fun and another way to get rid of those stickers that had been around forever. In fact I liked it so much I used it for the leaves on the flower too. I used a plain forest green cardstock for the base of these layouts so the sticker art would pop out.

These are some of the babies I have taught at Sunday School over the past 13 years+

A year in the life of a College Freshman

Last year I went to a Page of the Month Class at my LSS. We worked on 2 page layouts learning new techniques or using new products. I used my pages for the 1st year of my daughter's college experience. These pages were so fun and I wish I could take credit for the design, but I never use this much bling on a page. I'm learning to though!

August The freshman are assigned to small groups for orientation week. All freshman wear gold and green beanies for orientation. It is a tradition from before my husband and I attended the college!

May I really loved this layout I think it was Basic Grey Kioshi. It was fun using the file clamps and ribbons for embellishments. Toga party for English class and Cowgirl Up with the Texas girls!


June Tara worked at Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center in June & July. Times to Remember - playing Ninja in the office, the 3 accountants in their "rain slickers" and assigned golf cart. With Dutton Band showing off the socks she tie-dyed for them.


July Another favorite layout. Got to personalize the chipboard banner with title stickers. More camp friends!



Back Page This is out of a pad - don't remember the manufacturer, but I thought it would be great for Tara to record some of her thoughts/habits/likes in college.



Front Page - layout is done, but I don't have the picture added yet. Have to consult with Tara 1st!

All done done and in an album!
