Monday Challenge ~ Use a Punch ~ By Jayne Loughlin

Good Morning Fiskarettes

                                                    I have been away for the weekend but managed to Scrapbook a little. Today I have made a Layout for the challenge using Punches especially the Fiskars Scalloped Lace Border Punch, Had loads of fun playing with bright colours and older papers.

Items needed: 6x4cms photo, Scalloped lace Border Punch, XL Heart Squeeze Punch, Cardstock, paper, Adhesive, foam pads & Alpha stickers or Die cuts, Pen & Scissors.

Instructions: 1. Cut a piece of paper .24cms x8cms Glue this horizontally along the L/O 9cms up from the bottom edge.

2.  I’ve cut a piece of patterned paper next 21cms x 16cms  Punched the shorter edges using the Scalloped Lace Border Punch. Glue the piece centrally on the middle of the Layout over your punched strip.

3. Mat your photo using a piece of cardstock 17 x 11cms Punch the bottom edge using the Scalloped Lace Punch again. Glue this onto the piece you glued down in previous step.

4. Cut a piece of paper 5.5cms x 9.5cms Punch one of the longest edges using the same border punch as above. Add a title and trim if needed. Glue this onto L/O see photo above for approx placement.

5. Punch 3 Hearts using the XL Heart Squeeze Punch. Glue these vertically down the edge of the right facing side of the largest punched piece of patterned paper you glued in step 2. See photo again for placement.

6. Cut a small strip of paper for the Journalling approx 1cm wide. Journal, Trim and glue to bottom right facing corner.

7. Lastly Cut a strip of paper 25 cms x 2.5cms Punch with the Scalloped Lace Border Punch again along one long edge. Fix with Foam pads for some depth.
