You might be enjoying shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops. \u00a0 However, it is still pretty cool here in Minnesota. \u00a0We are still wearing long pants with long-sleeve shirts, and closed toe shoes. \u00a0And, layering. \u00a0Maybe more than one layer, possibly even two or three layers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">So, while we are layering on our clothing here in Minnesota, let&#8217;s talk about LAYERING our borders on our scrapbook pages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">The great thing about borders is that you can create them ahead of time, and then just add them to your projects when you are ready. \u00a0They add a perfect touch of color and design to scrapbooking layouts.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;\">Challenge #3: \u00a0Create a border using the following sketch, adding more than two layers. \u00a0Post a photo of your project to the <a
