Love


It's Friday and that means I have a Design Team project up on the Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Punches Blog.
Isn’t it amazing how much a punched border strip can add to a layout?!
I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #309. By punching both sides of the strip of paper I created an interesting border strip which became the focal point for this layout.  After adding the cute photo of Vincent I raided my stash for a little of this and that to complete the page.

Birthday In A Jar

My mother-in-law recently gave me some canning jars (mason jars). I have found so many uses for them in my crafting projects! One being this “Birthday In A Jar”. How fun would it be to receive this?!!!

I just took a mason jar and decorated the outside with supplies I had from my scrapbooking stash.



The inside of the jar includes the following:
(You would be surprised with how much you can fit in a jar.)
Party hat
Party horn
Balloons
Bag of confetti
A Hostess cupcake
Candle
Book of matches
Gift card bag

Altered Checkbook Cover

Every few months I make a trip to Hollo’s PaperCraft store. I love this place and can buy quality paper by the pound. When I went in June I purchased 17 pounds of paper. Besides paper they have a little bit of this and that. Every once in awhile I find that unexpected something. This last visit was no exception. I found these plastic checkbook covers that just had alter me written all over them … and so I did.



 



I used the positive and negative punched pieces from the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #310
and the negative punched pieces from the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #912.
(These pieces were actually left over from the wreath I made.)

My take on the sketch

Beach Day

The Design Team Reveal is up today on the Just Imagine Crafts/ Kreaxions Punches Blog. I completed a layout of Jessica and Gracelynn from one of their beach day trips. I made the doily at the top of the page using the star stencil and the Kreaxions Punch #303 with the “A” insert. I created the border strips using the Kreaxions Punch #303 with no insert. I utilized both the positive and negative pieces.

Traveling Art Journal

Today is Friday and that means a Design Team project for the Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Punches Blog.

I had the opportunity to be a part of a traveling art journal group. How fun! I loved seeing all the other participants entries in the journal. My project for today is my entry in the art journal. I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #310 to create the border strips. I used both the positive and negative pieces. I find myself using my Kreaxions punches on all most all of my paper crafting projects.

 
 
I love the detail this punch adds to the page.

Patriotic Wreath

I thought I would celebrate the sprit of independence by making a patriotic wreath. I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 punch #912 and the circle cutter. This punch added the perfect touch to the paper medallions and to me says fireworks.
