The Race: Using Border Strips As A Photo Mat

For the PaperHaus blog hop and giveaway, please see this post. 

I had so much fun with the new March kit at My Creative Scrapbook.  The colors and patterns of the My Mind's Eye line in the Creative Kit were just yummy and happy. 

One of my favorite papers in the kit was this pretty, sunshiny Polaroid paper that I used as my backdrop here: 

If you look closely, you will see that the Polaroids are upside down, so don't look too closely!  I turned the paper upside down because I liked the burst of color in the upper left corner and it gave me more design room on the rest of the page. 

To make the large mat under the photo, I cut apart the border strip paper in the kit.  I left a little bit of white space between each one and staggered them a bit to give a sense of movement. 

The photos fit nicely on the mat. I left a spot to the left for the title. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. I'll be back tomorrow with another project from the March kit and to announce the winner of the giveaway for the PaperHaus blog hop.
