Sweet Summer 12x12 Layout

This is a really simple, quick and inexpensive layout.


I used October Afternoon paper, some stickers from the collection, some punches and recycled a piece of a cardboard box. I always have my sewing machine out and ready so it really doesn't take to long, just a matter of changing the thread.

The yellow ruffled paper trim was so easy to make.

This is a great way to add a ribbon/trim look to your pages without having to buy those pricey trims. We all have tons of paper and a punch or two lying around.

Ruffled Paper Trim
1. Cut a 1.5"x 12" strip of paper
2. Punched one edge with a decorative punch (any style you want).
3. Then just fold the paper to make the ruffles.
4. Finally I stiched along the top of the paper with a contrasting thread.
