Quick Strips Tutorial

I had a bunch of leftover little scraps of the new Palette o Prints designer paper and wanted to put them to use.  So here is the project I came up with:

1.  Place a ruler at the top of where you want your border of strips.  Run a line of SNAIL (monoadhesive) just below the ruler and at the very bottom of the page.  Start lining up your scraps in a pleasing pattern.  Let them hang off the bottom and the last edge.

2.  Using your personal paper cutter, trim the bottom and side.

Oh boy, some more scraps for a tiny border! 

3.  Add a strip of ribbon along the top edge of the strips.
