It Packs A Punch!

Happy Friday!!! This weekend could not come soon enough for me!  I intend to get lots of scrapbooking in.  I got an early start by creating this layout last night.  The pictures were taken while at a crop with friends, laughing, joking and off course a little scrapping.

My goal was to use a single tool to create most of the elements on my layout.  I decided to pull out an old paper punch by McGill Creativity (circa 2003?!).  The design is called “Mini Round Envelope” so I am guessing it is supposed to be used to create envelopes.  But, in my opinion the mini envelopes are so small I can’t imagine using them for anything.  When I purchased the punch, many moons ago, my plan was to use it to create my own flowers.


I randomly punched “flowers” out of a piece of craft cardstock.  The negative paper was used to create a unique background for my layout, while the positive punched out shapes were used to create a flower embellishment. 



So, what can you do with some of your older tools? How many ways can you put them to work on a single layout?

Supplies: AC "Ready Set Go" Paper Pack, October Afternoon "Woodland Park" Paper Pack, AC Thickers, Ranger Stickles
