Challenge #26 - Borders
Borders can be used around a photo/drawing as a frame, or around text (title, quote, journaling).
Doodles are a great and easy style for borders, but you can also use collage to make your frame, as well as paint strokes/dots. Anything goes.
Check on Pinterest for inspiration; there are some fantastic examples for you to choose from and get started.
Also, watch Joanne Fink's awesome video on borders and frames on her blog; it gives you so many different options. The video on Patterning Techniques is also very useful on ideas on how to fill in your frame for your border, and the video on Dangle Designs gives you a more unusual and original style of border.
Have fun bordering and experimenting, and don't forget to post a photo of your page(s) on our Facebook page for everyone to enjoy! :-D
