    You have been a great idea sharer! I’ve not used the end strips. All this time I’ve thrown them away. Alas! I now know what border strips are officially called. Yay. And fun ways to use them. Thank you.

    I like to weave the long strips. Once I wove an entire 12x12 page to use as a background for pictures of my granddaughters making potholders. They got a huge kick out of that!

    Oh Ginger, love the border w/truck! I’m a “city” girl but feel in love w/a man who owns a farm! So that is where I live…who would have “think?” I never used to save my paper strips until I started watching Janet Madison @ RTS. Now, I save mine & love how they can anchor an embellishment cluster…Thanks for the inspiration & the opportunity to win these cute clusters made with border strippers Lol.. Oh, I forgot, love your idea of keeping the borders in a cute vase…going to the Dollar Tree soon! TFS.

    Hi there, I really liked how you put the stickers together to form something unique and totally cute. On a scrapbook page, I have used stickers but not how you grouped them! Great idea for that. Also, I liked how you stored the paper strips in a Pringle's can. That is much easier than throwing them together in a bag, etc. Thanks for sharing all your ideas, I learned a lot! 😊

    Wow! Those are amazing and I’m not just saying that. I love the boarder strip technique and I love using them on tags, shapes, and even layouts. I just never use my sticker sheets. You have inspired me to get out my sticker sheets and use them. We don’t all have those sticker sheets with just a few stickers on them either. I have tons like (4) 5” drawers full of hardly used sticker sheets. I believe you just inspired me to use up my scraps and stickers. That’s why I love you, you inspire me in every video you do. You have a natural eye for this. Maybe if I get my boarder strips out and grab a stack of sticker sheets I can get into the habit of using my stickers. ❤

    I just love your embellishment videos! I have a Pringles can full of border strips, too. I have been saving them for a while now & keep telling myself I need to make some layouts with them but haven't yet. Then I started watching your videos & fell in love with your embellishments that you make with them! So, when & if I ever finish my sister's wedding album, I am going to sit down & binge watch your embellishment videos & make me some. I love those tags, too! And I just got a tag die to make my own tags. I can't wait to get started on them so I'm off to work on my sister's album. I only have 2 more pages to do & it will be done. Thank God! It has been a fun project, but it's time to move on to something else lol

    I don't really have border strips because I don't do scrapbooking enough to need to buy the good paper. I can't afford it. But I do keep the strips left over from when I trim paper for my cards I make. I mostly use 6x6 paper pads. I do use my scraps to make my embellishments and most small things. I sit in front of my laptop and cut everything out on my die machine. I'll usually not really listen to the shows I watch for background noise. With my strips I use them the same way that those tickets were made. I also use them on my cards and other embellishments.

    Now that I've gotten into using my border strips and making embellishments and clusters, I decided to re-watch this video. Thanks for the info about your desk. I've been seeing lots of people filming this way. I thought that it might be contact paper. Anyway, I film in my basement on long folding table and mostly use my Tim Holtz glass mat. However that reflects to much light. Some day, when I get a new house or re-arrange our bedrooms so I have room for a desk to film upstairs I want to do this.

YOU are my inspiration on how to use scraps and border strips. I usually use strips for stamping sentiments for cards or word labels for pages.
