Punched Circles

Hello! I would just like to thank everyone for your kind comments for the blog hop this weekend! What a GREAT blog hop that was!!! :) Today I'm going to feature punched circles. This is a picture of my Mom in 1946 when she was about 17 or 18 with a young man she almost married. Then she met my Dad and that was the end of that relationship! When I saw this picture years ago all I could think about was how different things would have been for everyone! It’s amazing how one decision can make such a difference in so many lives! Anyway, I wanted to keep the nostalgic/heritage feel of this page but the elements in this Fancy Pants' Wave Searcher Line (my June DT kit from My Scraps & More) were way too modern. So I had to create something that would work.Materials – All Papers, All Chipboard – Fancy Pants’ Wave Searcher; Stamps, Letter Stamps – CTMH; Inks – Stampin Up, CTMH; Punches – Kreaxions #310 with Template A, Kreaxions #909; Twine – Unknown; Stickles – Ranger; Bling – Queen & Company; Pen – Sharpie

I cut a 10" circle and a 9" circle with my Kreaxions Circle Cutter. Then I used the Kreaxions Stencils on the reverse side of the paper to draw guide lines for punching. And using the Kreaxions Punch Mate made it easy to punch through the papers! (I LOVE that tool!) The result is a page that I absolutely LOVE! So I hope that the next time you need something for your page that isn't provided with your kit that you'll pull out your Kreaxions punches and circle cutter and make your own punched circles! BTW if you want to purchase the tools I used to create this page, go to Happy Punching!
