I was wondering if anyone has any tips for helping me make these borders into page edges. I have tried playing around with them in inkscape but I'm not having much luck.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

Here they are as page borders. To do this, I selected the border, locked it (located at the top), and adjusted the dimension to 11.5" long. Then I created a rectangle. I adjusted this to be 11.5" wide and shorter height wise since I would be adding the border to make it 11.5" tall (just subtract the height of the border from 11.5 to get the height dimension for the rectangle...it doesn't have to be exact). Then you will want to use you alignment tool. Select both the border and the rectangle and center align them on top of eachother. Once everything looks square, select them both and path>union. I check to make sure everything's kosher by view>display mode>outline. If it's all lookin' good, you've done the job! HTH :D

I can actually use them both, thanks!!

I've been altering tons of page edges lately- where the middle is not cut out. But recently I've taking a liking to frames so I will be sure to put both to good use!

Thanks again so much y'all!!
