St. Patrick's Day
1.)  Take your 8 1/2 x 11 cream or white cardstock and draw a wavy line with the wavy border ruler down the right (or the left) side of your page. Approximately 3/4 inch from edge.

2.)  Draw little squiggles off the edges of the drawn wave here and there along each side.

3.)  Draw little tiny leaves here and there along each side of the wave.

4.)  Arrange the shamrocks along each side of the wave. If using the shamrock die cut, place in the bottom corner.

5.)  Mount your 8 1/2 x 11 page on top of the 12 x 12 green cardstock approximately a 1/4" to a 1/2" from the edge of the green. Note: if you placed your border on the left side mount the page on the left side of the green cardstock. And likewise, if you have the shamrocks on the right side, mount your 8 1/2 x 11 on the right side of the green cardstock.

6.)  Your page is now ready for pictures and journaling. After your pictures and journaling are complete. You may want to add a few shamrocks here and there on your page.

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