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.

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.

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.

suslvgeo · Fri Aug 22, 2008 8:11 pm

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
