Just Imagine Crafts: http://justimaginecrafts.typepad.com/just-imagine-crafts---kreaxions-punches/

Here is my creation. One day my daughter was just sitting in the playground waiting for her older brother to get out of school wearing her super cute little sweater and I could not resist taking pictures of her, these gems came from that photo shoot.

I used punch 923 with the C insert in the corner of the dark pink paper and also in the corner of the peach paper.

In the dark pink paper I used insert C of punch 923 but only showed the extra filigree portion of the corner, for the peach corner I used the same insert and I showed the entire punched section. For a tutorial on how I made the little card pictured below click on this link.

Merry Christmas Susan K. Weckesser & Flamingo Scraps

Last December my friend took these wonderful pictures of my boys (plus some of me, my mom, and my daughter) when they were a week away from being 3 and 7 years old. I just fell in love with the head shots of both boys, but could never find the inspiration to create a layout with them, until now!!

Putting pictures in Polaroid frames is huge right now, so I could not resist playing around with the idea and with the Maya Road frames. My pictures were not the correct size, so I added a paper border inside and then added their names below. I also wanted to try out my new Martha Stewart circle punch (it made the doilies behind the pictures). I then added in my own layers and clusters for lots of dimension and fun. You can also see Heidi Swapp's file folder tucked in the layers!!

Here you can see some of the May Arts twine looped around to make a fun flourish behind the Prima flowers. I then added in a fun Tim Holtz charm, which is all stacked up on top of Maya Road chipboard, Basic Grey 25th and Pine die cuts and paper, and some wonderful Susan K. Weckesser Stamps used with various colors of red and brown Ranger Distress Inks.

I used the following sets of stamps from Susan K. Weckesser all layered on top of each other for lots of dimension:
