...because who knew I needed some washi tape when all I walked in for was laundry detergent & shampoo?
Oh ok... I had chocolate on my list too.
But have you noticed that in their office/school supply section they carry this cool tape now? And you know that washi tape is one of the "in" things in scrapbooking, but it isn't cheap. This 4-roll Target version for only $5.00, however, is a GREAT deal if you ask me. Did you even ask me? They had 4-packs of other colors too, but I went with the red set...
And voila... a taped border is a quick and easy way to add color + pattern. The tape is a bit transparent, so you can tell I didn't get it lined up exactly straight but I'm all about imperfection here. Only in scrapbooking though, not in trying to tame my wrinkles. And even then I'm not doing a great job, but let's move on...
This was another page I finished over the weekend. Pretty basic design here, which is good when you're just trying to get pages into the books & not worry about too much detail. The patterned paper is from my Recollections All Girl paper pad, a Nikki Sivils gingerbread house, a white SRM sticker sentiment adhered directly onto my photo, Bella Blvd letter stickers & my Martha Stewart snowflake punch with some pink Want 2 Scrap bling in the centers...
Another event documented and into the scrapbook. I'm on a roll here...
Deana,
I ran across that tape not too long ago. Gotta love that price. I bought all four colors.

Love the tape! I'm actually going to Target on my lunch break today. And then I will blame you if I happen to purchase something from the office supply section.
