Thanks for joining me for another month of the Double Take Challenge. I've seen some great LOs so far, and it seems that they just keep getting better! It is so much fun to make two-page LOs - and they look wonderful when printed out!
Last month, we worked from a sketch to create a two-page LO that was truly one LO done on two pages. This month, we'll look at another way to bring the two pages together.
This month's challenge is to use a border to unify your LO. If you read tips in scrapbooking magazines, then you've probably noticed that the primary tip given to unify two-page LOs is to use a border - that's all we are doing here in our digital form. Your border can simply be across the top or bottom of the pages, it can be used on both the top and the bottom, or you can do something with the short ends. Just keep in mind, the border should help tie the two pages together, not divide them.
You can create your two-page LO using any kit you want or any theme. I've created a few different borders that you can download, but using them is optional.

Once you create your two pages, please upload them to the gallery and don't forget to post in the forum with a link to your LOs.

Have fun with this one! I know all of you will come up with some wonderful borders and beautiful pages! Don't forget to upload TWO pages and share them with us! (Or, upload the combined LO - that's fine too!)
