Paper Ribbon as Borders - Pebbles, Inc.

Hi there, it’s Becki here, to share with you a layout I created using the Happy Day collection. Even more specifically how I used the paper ribbon as borders on my two page layout. I love that this collection is so oriented towards the laid back aspect of family life. By far my favorite element of this collection is the paper ribbon. I love adding borders to my projects and this makes it so easy and so fun. This paper ribbon feels like adding a little strip of wrapping paper to my projects.

See, aren’t they adorable?!? The layout I created is about my daughter’s first band concert. She recently started playing the flute and was so excited for her concert debut. Because she was so excited I thought that it would be fun for her to do the journaling too. I gave her a piece of white cardstock and a pen. I love that this layout (8 /12 x 11, double page spread) captures her photo and her handwriting at the same time.

As you can see I used the paper ribbon in a couple of places on both sides of the layout.

On the left hand side I created a border by layering two paper ribbons above the photo. I stitched down the bottom layer for an added layer of dimension.

On the right hand side of the two page spread you’ll notice that I added a vertical border this time. I used the same blue paper ribbon on both sides of the spread to balance the layouts and make them come together.
