I was recently sent one of the NEW RELEASE FISKARS KALEIDOSCOPE BORDER PUNCHES by Tami Bayer in the US......and I just had to rip it out of it's package when I first got it to have a play!! As you do..........LOL! Here's what I created with it ....An Altered Journal Notebook to record the first year of our grandaughter's life.....Gemma Mae
I have been making heaps of Rosettes in readiness for the Royal Melbourne Show for on our Stand so I grabbed one and added it to the cover as well.......
Fiskars Tools used were:
Fiskars Sure Cut Trimmer
Fiskars Kaleidoscope Border Punch
Fiskars Threading Water Border Punch
Fiskars Scallop Circle Lever Punch
* Cardstock is from Bella/Fynmark "VINTAGE CHIC" Range available in Lincraft Stores!
My plan is to take my own pics of Gemma from time to time and then add the pics to this Journal along with my own hand written notes and messages to Gemma......so that one day she will enjoy reading through it herself!!
Keep an eye out in a store near you for this NEW Release Kaleidoscope Border Punch!!
***** edited Oct 2nd.....I took this punch to the Royal Melbourne Show last Friday/Saturday and the ladies in the Cake Decorators of Victoria Stand tried it with their icing.....and it looked fabulous...so now they are going to try and order some....they loved the pattern it made....ideal for Cake Decorating!

The journal is absolutely beautiful! I'm sure that she will truly appreciate it when she gets older!
Who knew the border punch would be good for cake decorating too! Great punch! Definitely one to look for!

What a great looking journal. I love the design of that kaelidescope punch. I have been watching on the fiskar board to see who named it but nothing yet.

Hi Debbie....I'm not too sure who named it either....but it would have been a Fiskateer that's for sure....thanks for dropping by...
Dot.....thank you for your sweet comments about Gemma's Journal

I love Gemma's Journal. It's such a great idea & she is going to love it when she's older. A special treasure from her grandma.
The Kaleidescope punch is beautiful & I bet the cakes are too. TFS! Diane aka doverdi #1329
