CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#84) Journaling/Sentiment Placement

Happy Monday Bloggers!

Do you struggle with placement of your journaling on scrapbook layouts or even just placement of sentiments on cards?

How about using border strips to help you bring your journaling or sentiments to the forefront of your layouts & cards.

By now you have all seen those amazing border punches out there. Put them to good use if you got em'. Use border strips as a base for a journal strip by layering the border strip with a piece of white, vellum or coordinating, light colored cardstock.
You can prop them up on pop dots to make them stand out even more.

Then journal or write on those strips jotting down the low down about the story your photos tell or a simple greeting. It is a great way to incorporate border strips while making use of the space they provide.

If the cardstock you use for your border strip has lovely images, be sure to leave a little space to the left & right of it to show off the cardstock. You could even layer embellishments to the left & right of your writing, directly on to the border strip.

That's it for today.

Have a wonderful week!
