ACOT Message Board

 Not really sure if you could call this a class....hmmm more of I LOVE using punches and I want to show you some cool ways to enhance your pages, quickly and cheaply!

After I am done posting the class, I am going to head over to the gallery and make a special spot for you to put some of your punchy creations done this weekend. They can either be ideas that I have shown you or some of your own, either way if you upload there, there will be a random fairy sprinkin' if you know what I mean.

So here we go.

 Yayyyyyyyy Sus!

 Punches, something that I as a beginner scrapbooker, years ago bought a ton of. After awhile they started collecting dust as I started seeing new cool things to play with. UNTIL, my son started playing with them and making cool things. I thought, wow, I can still use these. And with some of the newer ones out, it is even funner and quicker than ever before. I realize you can make cool new shapes with the amazing die cut machines they have out now, but if you want something quick, easy and portable, then a punch just might be for you.

 Cool, I'm ready!

OK Sus, I'm ready! 

Neato, can't wait to see what you have concocted for us!

 On you mark, get set, go!

 Below are some of the ones I will be highlighting.
Circle X-Large punch

 I can't wait...like you I have so many punches gathering dust!

 Heart X-Large Punch

 2 inch scallop nesting punch

 Oh, shoot....I know I'll be needing that scalloped circle one!  I have diecut machines and all but there's nothing faster than a punch!

 First lets do the REALLY big punches! Oh my...they are big....but oh my are they GREAT!!!

Look at how you can make your own background....quick and easy.

 I am going to keep posting...if you have any questions, you can post here and I will check back after I stop posting, OR you can pm which will show up right away. 

 You don't have to have the same punches, you can do all kinds of things with different sized or shaped ones, these are just the ones I have...just to give you some ideas.

 Using punches is a great way to do a page fast. This page took me less than five minutes and the longest part of that was digging through my stash for the alphabets. LOL

I've got a question for you...WHAT IS A NESTING PUNCH?
