COLOUR: Purple
WORD: Beautiful
TECHNIQUE/PRODUCT: Punches
Kerry Murray is bringing us the January 123 Challenge - and what a ripper it is! Here she has used Martha Stewart Punches to create a full page border, and then added interested to the Patterned Paper she has used on her photo matte - and how stunning it is!!!
I had no idea how many ways Punches could be used and how GORGEOUS punches can be.... until Kerry visited me recently and we scrapped together.... and WOW!!!! She is the Martha Stewart Punches QUEEN!!! The first time she came to visit I was overwhelmed and punched as much leftover and scrap Patterned Paper I had in my stash.... and so did my Mum!!!
And then Kerry came back for another marathon scrap session and we discovered the amazing flowers that could be created!!! Mum and I are slightly obsessed with Punches now and you can't keep us away from the local scrap shop punches section!!!
Stay tuned on the tutorial on how to create these flowers using a flower punch!
Looking forward to seeing LOTS of your layouts in the gallery!
Love Charmane
Awesome. Great challenge.

Excellent! I'm making a diary for a friend and her favourite colour is purple! I think I might be able to incorporate all the criteria! Might not get it finished today though :/
