Just Imagine/Kreaxions Design Team Reveal Day - Summer Fun!

Today the Just Imagine Crafts/Kreaxions Punches Design Team is revealing their Summer Fun projects!  You can find the other team members' projects at Just Imagine Crafts. 

So here's my project.  The picture is of my husband and his mother in the 1960s at a hotel in Myrtle Beach where they were visiting my husband's grandparents.

 I used Kreaxions Punch #310 and the Kreaxions Circle Cutter to create the embellishments on this page.  There's lots of little pieces all over the page because I just love how they look and it's hard for me to throw them all away!  :)

Other materials - Cardstock - Bazzill; Patterned Papers - Simple Stories; 3D Stickers - K & Company; Stickers - Jolee's; Rubons - Making Memories; Letter Stickers - Recollections; Pens - Sharpie; Inks - Ranger Distress Minis

I hope you've enjoyed this project today!  Happy scrapping and happy punching!!!

Flower Doily Card

Hello again!  Today I'm sharing a card using scraps from a 6x6 pad of paper.

I used the Kreaxions Star Template and Kreaxions Punch #913 Lily to create the "flower".  I outlined everything with a gold pen, then folded it up a bit to give it the dimension.  I added a cloth brad for my center.  For my background I used 3x3 pieces of paper laid on the card base and drew my stitching with a pen.  The "brackets" are leftover from punching the star stencil.  I just cut them to fit and outlined them with a gold pen as well.
Materials - Card Base - Recollections; Patterned Papers - My Mind's Eye; Pens - Omni Gel, Sharpie; Brad - Crate Paper
I hope this inspires you to use your own Kreaxions products!  They're so much FUN to play with!  Happy Punching!

Doilies Are Easy with Just Imagine/Kreaxions Products!

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a heritage page.  The picture is of my husband's Great-Great Grandfather...  I needed a nice mat for the small picture so I created a doily with my Kreaxions products!  Doilies are SUPER easy to make with the Kreaxions products and they work with EVERY Kreaxions 4-in-1 punch!

To create a doily using your Kreaxions products, first cut a circle with your Kreaxions Circle Cutter just a little bigger than the size you want to end up with.  Second, flip your paper over and use either Kreaxions Stencil A (for larger circles) or Kreaxions Stencil B (for medium and smaller circles) and draw lines so you'll know where to punch.  Next, choose your punch.  I chose Kreaxions Punch #920. Each punch has a little mark in the front showing the center of the punch to line up with the lines from the stencil.  Then I chose Kreaxions Positioning Parts 6.8 cm and used that insert to cut on the lines I'd created with Kreaxions Stencil B.  It gave me a great mat that focuses on the tiny original heritage picture!
I hope this encouraged you to use your Kreaxions products to create your own doilies!  You can find these products and many more in the Just Imagine Crafts Store!  Happy Punching!

It's Turtle Soup's Birthday Bash Time!!!

It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone already and it's time to celebrate the Turtle Soup Forum's 2nd Birthday!  I've been out of town so this is my first post, but the celebration runs all month long!  So be sure and check out ALL of the different challenges! 

So today my challenge for you is to do a page either about a birthday cake, with a birthday cake in the patterned paper and/or using a birthday cake as an embellishment.  Here's my example:

I did a two-page layout about my now 11 year old Grandson's 4th birthday party.  There's cake in the pictures and cake in a couple of the stickers too. 

So come on over to the Turtle Soup Forum's celebration and win prizes!  I will be giving away a Kreaxions Punch and a Kreaxions Circle Cutter so be sure to participate so you can win!

Happy Scrapping and Happy Punching!!!

Home Sweet Home

Hello!  Today I'm sharing a page created for the Turtle Soup Forum's July 6th Sketch Reveal. 

Here's the sketch by our wonderful DT leader, Bev Code...

And here is my version of her lovely sketch...

This is the house that my parents, brothers, daughter, grandsons and I called home for nearly 50 years. The picture on the left is the last time I saw the house. The one on the right was taken in September 2014 just before we sold it. We will all miss this house terribly! The Silhouette cut file had “stitches” on the clouds so I used my pen to enhance it. I stamped the flowers on the borders...

Materials – Sketch – Bev Code; Cardstock – Bazzill; Glimmer Mist – Tattered Angels; Clouds, Address, Title cut with Silhouette Cameo; Stamp – CTMH; Ink – Ranger Distress Mini; Pens – Sakura Gel Roll, American Crafts

I hope you've enjoyed this page!  Please be sure to come and visit us at the Turtle Soup Forum for more challenges!  We allow cards, layouts and any other type of item for each challenge posted so all are very welcome!!!  Happy Scrapping everyone!
