Scrapbook Borders for the Year

The following border ideas were designed and created by Rebecca Eldenburg, CMC, who lives in the Dayton, Ohio area. She was not the CMC that originally introduced me to this hobby, but her creative and enthusiastic spirit inspired me to dive in and have fun. I completed these borders at one of her workshops. I believe she uses them to fill albums for grandparents.

Please feel free to use these borders for your personal use, but if you decide to share them, please give Rebecca the credit she deserves.

All of these borders were 2-page spreads done in 12x12 albums. However, they can easily be adapted for single pages, or smaller albums. I am still figuring out my scanner, so some of the pages have been cut off, but I think you will get the general idea.

Materials used to create these borders were Mrs. Grossman's stickers, CM diecuts, and Sakura Micron or Calligraphy pens. There is one border for each month of the year. The first two (2) follow on this page: January and February, and are followed by the "recipes" for each border. Please click on the links to view the remaining borders.

Hope you like them!




January & February Border "Recipes"

January Border - Design by Rebecca Eldenburg, CMC

6 snowflake diecuts (2 lt blue, 2 med blue, 2 purple); Mrs. G. sparkle snowflake stickers; Blue Micron Pen.

Crimp 4 of the snowflake diecuts (optional of course!). Place snowflake in groups of three in the upper left corner of pg 1, and the upper right on pg 2. Draw broken wave lines (or squiggles) along the outer left, top, and right edges, dotting ends of lines.

Draw snowflakes/starbursts randomly around wave lines. Place stickers randomly around border. Wah lah!
