Scuba - Just for Fun

I know I dont often post personal stuff but this picture I thought was too cute
It is my oldest daughter and her friend scuba diving earlier in June- Brittany
is the one in the blue framed scuba mask- and watch later this summer(althought it may have to be after the kids go back to school) I hope to reference this
picture again as I ran across a template for a scuba mask and hope to create a
great scrapbook to accent this fabulous photo of the girls!

Ants on Picnic

This is a total Case from a swap I received last year at convention- the apple cores are created from the round tab punch on white or vanilla cs then punch again from your choice of green an red cardstocks tearing out the center then paper piece together as shown in the picture
create the "bite" on the lower corner of the card by using the 1/8 punch repeatedly - do this to each cardstock layer before gluing them together- any small teardrop, leaf or half of a heart stamp can be used to create that little darker center on the apple cores, simply create seeds using our black marker bold tip- first create a circle applying the tip straight down then without picking the pen up 'drag' a line out from the dot this will give you a nice teardrop seed - yoiu can do 2 together to create 'toile paint' hearts as well- finish off by stamping a randomn row of ants, staple on ribbon add layered verse, add stems and leaves with scrap to the apple cores and you have yourself a cute little card - for my scrappers out there this would make the cutest border for apple picking pages, apple pie pages, anything summery, picnic, outdoorsey & more
If you are interested in learning other fun - non traditional uses for your punches contact me at
mrssizzlen@kc.rr.com to schedule a "so punch fun" party in your home
