Tutorial Time on SpeedyTV - Challenge 41

I was just talking to my bestest ever friend the other day about paper scraps and said that I have so many - that I'll probably never use them and should go through them all and dispose of a bunch of them!  She said - she saves all of hers and it has come in handy pretty often.  Well, lo and behold, she certainly knew best.  Today's tutorial, by one of our TTSTV DT members, Pat Garvin, is called Patchwork Borders.  I had a great time with this tutorial and made a bunch of spare pieces for future use!  Check out Pat's tutorial at Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co., at SpeedyTV.  Not a member of SpeedyTV - it's free and easy to join - and there are so many things going on over at SpeedyTV!  Once you get to SpeedyTV, just click on the Tutorial Time tab and then click on Challenge 41 - and, poof, there you are!  Grab some of those scraps you've been saving and check out this fun tutorial and then drop your card into Mr. Linky.  The prize this week to the winner is this really, really awesome stamp set (which I love)!
