My Cutie Pie

Hello! This is one of my favorite pics of my Grandson Garrett that I took last month while celebrating his 4th birthday.  Sometimes your photo is so cute or beautiful or whatever that you don’t want a lot of stuff cluttering up the page.  I’ve found that with just a little bit of punching, you can make a fun mat and borders which enhance your photo(s) and yet it still does the picture justice with a great layout.  And instead of expensive embellishments that you have to purchase each time, you can use your scraps and matching papers to create your own for free!

My Cutie Pie R1


On this page  I used Kreaxions Punch #920 with no template and with Template A for my borders.  Then I used Template B on the photo mat corners, and finally I used Template C on the photo corners.  I created the title with my Cricut using the Jasmine font.  The pieces around the photo are cut-away pieces from the borders and corners.  I just hate throwing those little pieces away and this is a great way to make use of them!

Here's the punch I used on this page - 920

As you can see, there are 3 pieces that come with each Kreaxions 4-in-1 punch.  Template A is the one on the right and creates a border.  Templates B and C are corner punches with Template C being a corner rounder and Template B giving a sharp edge at the top.  And every time you punch, there are little pieces that cut away which are fabulous for decorating around the page as I have on this one (and often do).

Love your layout. I have the circle cutter and the star template. Still don't know how to use the template. I guess I need to go to you tube.
