Thursday Trending: That Fat Top Strip

I can't help it.  I try not to put it on my pages...my I can't stop.

That top fat strip usually cut into a particular border.  I think it just grounds the page for me.  It is a common trend for me.

Take this page using the new Sweet Notes collection from Allison Kreft.

I started with the fat top strip...knew I wanted to cut it along the circles to make a scallop of sorts.  I think it gives a balance to the other elements.  I think it is because there aren't a lot of other patterns and papers on the rest.  

I incorporated the new mini bags...see the woodgrain, the trim and overlays for my journaling.  This collection is really fun.

I need a fat top strip intervention.  Or maybe I should just accept it?

Happy Thursday!
