Hello everyone!  This is Ginni.  Today I’m featuring a two page layout. The pictures tell a story about how my husband swung my grandson just a wee bit too hard in a hammock and Noah fell out.  He wasn’t hurt, just a bit shaken up thankfully, but the pictures are priceless to me.  So I used my June sketch for the left side, then changed it up a bit for the right side.  As you can see on my border punch, I used Kreaxions Punch #916 without any templates.  I simply punched alternating from the top and from the bottom of the paper to give the border some interest.  Then I used the “arrows” that were cut away for my journaling pointers.  The butterflies (Kreaxions Punch #604) give the layout some direction and interest, and of course all the circles were cut with the AMAZING Kreaxions Circle Cutter.  I used my computer to journal, a pen to fake stitch (since I don’t sew) and some number stickers and Thickers finish it off.  (For a complete materials list see my personal blog post from today.)

I’d never tried this technique with a punch before and got brave (after all, it’s JUST a piece of paper!) but I will certainly be using it again!  SO I DARE YOU!!!  Try something new and different with YOUR punches!  If they turn out, be sure to share with us!  And remember, only a few more days to do your June challenges!  You have great chances to win!!!  Happy Punching!!!
