Saying it with Borders

I am so excited to share today's layout with you!  I won a challenge for challenge ideas in the SCAL Users Group - Woo Hoo!  I can always use an extra $10!  Better yet - they used my idea to this week's challenge.   

So the challenge is to make a border.  So my border began as an image from Creative Fabrica (Mountain Landscape Black Silhouette). I manipulated it to get three separate layers. I colored the mountains in Ecal and did Print 2 Cut for all the layers....as pictured in the reply. Then I added them to the layout with each layer popped up. I LOVE the end result! I also cut the cacti using a freebie from LoveSVG. I didn't plan them as a border....but they sure would make a nice border!!!!

A Train Layout

Hello!  Here today sharing a layout I made using the Gem Tones by Creative Memories.  If you're a scrapbooker, I know you totally get how much I swoon over this great paper collection...lol!

The patterns and colors are timeless, and I can see so many uses for these neutral patterns.  For this layout, I played up the color difference between two patterns.  

I know these photos are probably 12-13 years old - but you can never go wrong in scrapbooking old memories!
