A Layout To Share

 

Every year I try to do a layout asking the girls different questions. Here is a version I did for Leah's album. I used the XL Fiskars Circle Squeeze Punch for all the circles and a border punch to embellish the photo frame.
 
 
Happy crafting, Dawn

Window Card for Xmas - Lyn

I have sure had fun creating my Christmas Cards this year using the NEW Fiskars Everywhere Punch.

For this card I used the Square Cartridge in the Punch...I also punched out a red heart using my Fiskars My Funny Valentine Squeeze Punch and stamped some Kaisercraft Chritmas images ..... then I punched them out with my Fiskars 1" Circle Squeeze Punch and adhered to the inside of the card...lining them up through the windows.

"Beyond the Sea" Purse

A few months ago I worked alongside Connie from Toyota Sewing Machines in the CRAFT HUB at the Royal Melbourne Show and she was creating these fabulous purses using paper. I was just fascinated at her skills in creating such a fun project......so being the quiet person that I am (LOL) I just had to ask if she could make me one.

I was using some of the Heidi Grace "Beyond the Sea" papers to demo with ....so she offered to make me a cute Purse using my papers and her sewing machine.SO here's the result......thanks Connie!

Christmas Accent 2

Christmas Page Accent number 2. When creating page accents don't limit yourself to just using them on a layout. You can use them on cards and gift tags as well.

 
For this accent I used a ready made tag and embellished it with strips of cardstock punched with a border punch. A sticker and some ribbon completed this accent. Perfect for a page about your favourite Christmas recipe.

Cheers, Dawn
