I am so excited to share my project today! I did two pages. The first is the original and the second is the one I created from the scraps from page one...

First is my Grandson Robert last October. I love the concentration on his face! I didn’t have any pre-made embellishments at all. So I had to create all of my embellishments with my punch. I wanted to create a punched circle so my Kreaxions Circle Cutter, my Kreaxions Stencils & Kreaxions 4-in-1 Punch #909 with no template were the perfect tools.
First cut an 8” circle. Then flip the paper over & use the Kreaxions Stencil A (for larger circles) to draw pencil lines for punching. Use those lines & the center mark on the punch to line it up. I used the cut away piece on this page. Cut another 8” circle from the purple cardstock to place behind this piece. Then take a piece of vellum and your punch with no template & line up the edge of the punch against the edge of the previously punched area. Do this all the way around the page. For the photo mat use Template B & then replace the cut out sections with the cut-away pieces. Next punch a border with Template A & black cardstock. I placed purple cardstock behind the black border. Finally use all the little star pieces (& a few extra) to give your page more pizzazz. (They don’t call me the Punch Piece Queen for nothing! LOL!) Punch some triangular pieces from the black cardstock (which would make GREAT bats for any Halloween page!) & add them in groups of 3 around the circle. Finally you can add a LOT of little brads placing them in alternating dark & light orange around the page. To finish the page off I got my black, purple and orange Stickles to fill in the centers of the little star pieces. Add some title letters & outline the circle with black ink to make it show just a bit more. The beauty of the design of this page is that you could use it for ANY theme with any type of papers. It could even be used for cards on a smaller scale!

My second page is about my Granddaughter Molly. Use the cutaways from the first layout to create this page. Cut a 4x6 picture down to 4 x 3½, put photo corners on it & place it in the center of the punched circle. Punch the corners of the purple cardstock with Template B & use the cutaway pieces on the four corners of the layout. I added some Stickles in purple & orange around the page & used Momenta letter stickers & Cosmo Cricket date stickers to finish the page.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these very punchy creations! If you leave a comment here, I'll enter your name into a random draw for a $10 gift certificate at the Just Imagine/Kreaxions Store!  Winner will be announced on Monday!
