Supplies Needed:
One sheet of  tan 12x12 cardstock
One sheet of cream 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock
12" Ruler
Black Fine Tip marker
Black Broad Tip marker

The following stickers: 
RA LANG, Seashells 
(1 modular has 8 seashells)
RA LANG, Sandcastles 
(1 modular has 2 sandcastles) 
Glue stick or photo splits  
Note: If you do not have the RA LANG stickers, try to use some stickers close to those I described.)

Seashore Border
1.)  Mount your cream 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock on the tan 12 x 12 cardstock, 1/4"-1/2" from the left side of the tan cardstock.

2.)  Take your Black Broad tip marker and draw a straight line starting from the top left hand corner of the tan cardstock (approx. 1/4" in on the cream cardstock), continue down over the cream cardstock, stopping 1/4" from the bottom of the cream cardstock. Continue line across the bottom (1/4" from bottom of cream cardstock) to the edge of the tan 12 x 12 cardstock.

3.)  Repeat step 2 using the Black Fine tip marker just inside the broad line on your page.  When finished you should have two lines (1 thick & 1 thin) as a border along the side and bottom of your page.

4.)  Take the Black Broad tip marker and along the left and bottom of the outside edge (up to your drawn line), place three dots together forming triangles with the three dots. Place these scattered throughout the top and bottom edge.  Repeat with the Fine tip marker.

5.)  Sticker time: Take your 2 Sandcastle stickers and place one in each corner of your page (one should be on the corner over lapping the cream and tan, the other just on the tan).

6.)  Take the seashells and space them evenly on top of the black drawn lines along the left side using 5 stickers, and along the bottom between sandcastles using 3 stickers.

7.)  Your page is now ready for pictures and journaling.

  Hope you have enjoyed this border design.  I know I have enjoyed designing it and sharing it with all of you!
