October Already?!?!


How in the WORLD did it get to be October already???!!!  I don't know where this year has gone but it's going fast and before we know it Christmas will be here!  I'm a day late announcing the September winner...  And the winner is.....

NADINE!!!!!
Congrats Nadine!  PM me your address and I'll get your prize out to you ASAP.

Since it's the first of the month and I don't have another post on the blog for another week, I wanted to share some more Kreaxions projects I've completed that won't be posted on the Just Imagine/Kreaxions blog.  This will give everyone more chances to win the monthly prize!!!

First is the October Design Team reveal for Just Imagine/Kreaxions.  We have a new DT and the creations are AMAZING!  You can see the other creations HERE.  This is my page for the reveal...  I used Kreaxions Punch #312 with Template A for the borders and Template C for the corners.  Then I used the cut-away pieces all over the page.
Other Materials - Sketch, Papers, Stamps, Ink - Close to My Heart; Pen - Sakura Gel Roll

Next is a fun page I created for a challenge to use a sunburst.  I used the Kreaxions Circle Cutter, Kreaxions Stencil A and Kreaxions Punch #913 with no template.  First I drew the stencil lines on the back of my paper.  Second I used the circle cutter to cut out the paper.  Third I cut out every other piece from the stencil.  Fourth I punched the ends of the pieces left and finally I added the cut-away pieces in between and all over the page.  The picture is of my Grandmother (on the left) with her sister and a friend.  Don't you just LOVE those old bathing suits?!  I created the waves with a curvy trimmer from Creative Memories.  And there's orange Stickles all over the page as well.
Other Materials - Sketch - Kristine Davidson; Cardstock - Bazzill; Patterned Papers - CTMH; Stickers  - Paper House, Unknown; Brads, Die Cut - My Mind's Eye; Title Letters - Making Memories; Pens - Sharpie, Sakura Gel Roll; Stickles - Ranger; Photo Corners - Recollections

Next is a sympathy card.  One of my husband's cousins died suddenly and I needed a quick card.  I'd just received this Pavilla Bloom Outline die from the Just Imagine Store in the mail and they were PERFECT for the card along with Kreaxions Punch #916 with no template for the borders. 
 Other Materials - Cardstock - Bazzill; Sentiment Stamp, Ink - CTMH; Pens - Sharpie, Inkessentials; Pearls - Queen & Company

Next is a picture of my Granddaughter Molly at Sea World.  She was super excited to find an aquarium with comb jellyfish which she explained in great detail are some of the most poisonous in the world.  I just LOVE this picture!  I used my Kreaxions Circle Cutter to create the scalloped border - which is SUPER easy!  These are 1-1/2 inch scallops.  To create this size scallop draw a line on the back side of your paper about 2 inches away from the edge.  Set your circle cutter to 1-1/2 inches and put the point that is usually for the center of your circle directly on the line with the blade as close to the edge of your paper as possible.  Working from left to right, cut your circle ONLY to the drawn line and then place the blade just to the right of the scallop you just created.  Do this all the way across (or as far as you wish) and then cut the paper with your paper trimmer about 1/4 inch below the line you drew.  One other note about this page is that I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the border on which I then used ink to color the raised image. 
Other Materials - Sketch - Bev Code; Cardstock - American Crafts; Patterned Papers - CTMH, Unknown; Brads, Quote Tag - My Mind's Eye; Pens - SuperGel, Sharpie, Infinity; Bling - Queen & Company

And last but not least is a page of my youngest Grandson Garrett who was tired of me taking pictures of him at the Hibachi Grill.  We were celebrating his 4th birthday a couple of weeks early and he just threw his arms in front of his face and said "NO MORE PICTURES GIGI!!!"  So I pulled out my Kreaxions Circle Cutter, Kreaxions Stencil B, the Kreaxions Positioning Parts (large 6.8 cm on the black circle and small 6.8 cm on the red circle) which created the doily and Kreaxions Punch #915 to create this page. 
Other Materials - Sketch - Bev Code; Cardstock - American Crafts; Patterned Papers - Carta Bella; Brads, Tags, Fun Sticker - My Mind's Eye; Pen - Sharpie; Title Letters - Cosmo Cricket

I hope you've enjoyed seeing these projects!  As you can see I used my Kreaxions products a LOT!  They're fun, easy to use and because they are all 4-in-1 punches, they give so many different looks!

Remember, that you can win the punch below along with the Kreaxions Circle Cutter and the Kreaxions Star Stencil by following this blog and leaving me a comment!  The more times you comment on my posts this month, the more chances you have to win by random draw! Winner will be announced Saturday, November 1st.  Here's the prize package:
 

Happy Punching!!!
