Happy Friday stampers – are you ready for the next part of How to make a simple folio part 2 – decorating?

Last week we started a simple folio by making the base. Today I show you how to use pattern paper and layer it to decorate some of your pages in the folio. I chose to use a mint green as the layer since it went well with the pattern paper. Then I added various pattern papers to mix and match them. For pages that will have photos I added a white photo mat. Here are the first couple of pages I have decorated so far.
