For my last post this week I thought I'd keep it simple and offer up some Christmas appropriate ideas for trimming your pages. Jodi and I brainstormed a bit and came up with these ideas for your Christmas borders. Enjoy!
- Ric-Rac - this old fashioned trim speaks of ginger bread men, craft bazzars, and everything Christmas! Glue down a single row, or multiple rows for a traditional (and fun) border.
- Velvet Ribbon - crushed velvet, regular velvet, anything velvet is appropriate for gorgeous old fashioned layouts. Velvet looks especially nice with formal photos, but like the little black dress, it can be dressed up or down depending on your style!
- Curly Ribbon - gifts under the tree and confetti on New Years Day make for lots of fun! Make a row of small clusters or single pieces. Its probably not archival safe, but it gets extra points for being so festive!
- Sequin Trim - what says Christmas like glittering gold, or silver, or red, or green, or blue, or anything that sparkles for that matter! Premade sequin trim is simple and plyable and can be draped across your pages, or use it to trim out your photo mats.
- Crocheted Lace - for a perfect vintage or Victorian look. It is reminiscent of lace tablecloths, doilies, snowflakes, and of coarse cookies and cakes laced with sugar!
- Stickles! - we can't help but recommend Stickles glitter glue! Just doodle a free hand border across the top or bottom of your page and let it dry. Glit-teriffic every time!
- Pom-poms - tiny little pom poms are fluffy and sweet, like snow men or Santa's rosy cheeks.
- Beads - string them together and drape them across the page like a beautiful garland, or if you are extrememly ambitious, stitch them to the page.
Whatever you do to trim out your Christmas pages, have fun. If you have additional ideas, please post them in the comment section. We'd love to hear from you!
Have a wonderful weekend!
