....AND the winner is..........

Lynita Chin...........congratulations.........you have won the OCTOBER "PUNCHING" CHALLENGE!

Lynita showed great use of the  Border Punch....by punching a strip and then attaching it to the side of her photo it really enhanced the pic! I love the way Lynita has created the flowers with punches and added her own style by cutting the petals......and how cute is that "tag" hanging from the bottom flowers....the overall colour scheme of the layout is so "fresh" and "appealing".......thanks for entering Lynita.....your work is just stunning!!

You have some FISKARS HAPPY MAIL coming your way........please email your postal address to Trina!

There were some really great entries this month with  creative uses of the punches......so I would like to give some special mentions to:

Allison.......loved the "blub blub" card.....like how you used the circle punch to round the corners and then matted the same way........well done!

Debbie.....lovely Matching Card /tag.......creative use of the flowers 3in 1 corner punch. Also love the way you have embossed and added an accent on the Notepad along with the border made with the border punch.......great!!

Jennifer....Pink Canvas...love the punched flowers and how clever are those ribbon stems !...wonderful!

Rita.........love how you have used the hearts punch and then added your own touch by drawing lines around them....both on the inside and outside of the shapes....well done!!

Lesley.......What a stunning layout....by creatively placing the punched diamonds you have really made the photo the focus of the layout.....wonderful!!Love the added diamond border strip to the pic...GREAT!!...ooh...I nearly forgot....loved what you did with the tag punch to make the flowers on the layout that Trina shared.......very creative!

Thanks also to our Ambassadors Trina and Paula who also shared layouts using punches.....sorry girls....no prizes allowed for you two.....he,he.

Beautiful, congratulations Lynita, well done to everyone else as well

[Lynita Chin]

Thanks so much Lyn and everyone for your kinds comments. I really enjoyed creating this canvas. Without your punching challenge I know I wouldn't have been inspired to use any punch art, but I had so much fun and loved the end result.I can see I'll be making more of those flowers with the Bling Bling punched centres.

Lynita. Just beautiful. And so pleased you were challenged to do this.

Awesome.

So glad that you were challenged to produce something so special using punches Lynita.....sometimes we need a little incentive like a challenge to go outside our comfort zone.....your project is just delightful....well done again!
