Fun with a Hole Punch

Giggle, funny title, huh! During the SS Star contest, we were challenged to use our hole punch to create! I must admit that I don't bring that simple tool out very often. I have the Making Memories one that can go anywhere around the paper. It is loud. But it works well. Here is what I came up with:

First, I thought of fish bubbles! And it just so happened that I had just bought Snorkel. Have I ever told you how much I love Cosmo Cricket! They are on my top 3 list for favorite companies. I punched some holes and placed a lighter blue underneath to make them pop! I also set some eyelets.



Then this one. I made this prior to starting my exercise routine and can tell you that my arms were killing me when I was done. ROFL! Scary that I got a workout from scrapbooking.

My husband tells me that for every 30 minutes of scrapbooking, I should do 50 sit-ups. Scrap, sit-ups, scrap, sit-ups--everytime I am in my scraproom. He said I would have toned abs in no time.



Off to work. Have a fab day!

Very creative use for the hole punch. I love the fish bubbles they add so much texture & whimsy. The card is just so beautiful. Whoever gets that one is sure to say WOW.

Your hubby's comments... men they mean well it's just how they phrase things... shaking my head with a small grin on my face since my hubby would say the same type of thing too lol with the best meaning behind it.

Great Layout Stacey, I love the fish bubbles, and the heart is cute to. I would use my hole punch more if it was not so loud too.
