The Scrapoholic's Monday Make the Cut Challenge

This weeks MTC challenge for The Scrapoholic was borders.  You can enter her challenge here.  Let me tell you Jill gave us some great borders to work with and the hardest part was picking which border to use as they all look fabulous!

So without rambling and making you wait any longer here is what I came up with.

My Favorite Things Aren't Things

A 2 page layout that will highlight pictures of my very favorite people.  I plan on printing the pictures in black and white and then hand tinting them with photo markers to bring out some of the colors. 

I just love this paper!  I have been hoarding it forever and decided this would be a great use for it.  Here are some close ups of the details.

I love how the MTC borders from Jill have different sizes.  It made it soo easy to tie everything together. 

I really like the distressed look of the paper.  I used a sanding block on the photo mats, borders and the flower.

I needed some shimmer so I added Stickles to the main paper.

Here is what I used to create these pages
