Happy Wednesday and a Secret to Share!

Good morning! Hope your week is going good so far!
Lisa here with you this morning to share a little secret. you know those strips at the bottom of patterned paper that you usually cut off, well, I found a use for them and it saves me from cutting into a new sheet of paper!
Here's the paper:


I cut out the part that shows what is on the backside of the patterned paper and used it for a border on this layout:

Here is a close- up:
I used the All Star Collection Kit from Echo Park for this basketball page.

Hope this tip helps the next time you need a small border for your card or layout!
