January Scrapbook Pages

So I'm still working on a double page layout a month with my friend's challenge. For the month of January, the challenge it was to make a border for your layout. I had grabbed a small kit that I had put together myself. Essentially I found some paper I liked and some embellishments to go with it and had stored it all together. I made the border by layering paper and ribbon and a brad. I chose to go with a clean simple look and am happy with how it turned out. I journaled along the edge of the gray paper, so it is hard to see.
