3 More Pages for the Ronald McDonald House

Here are three more of the scrapbook pages, the post it notes have the information from the backs of the pictures, we have a neighbor that has amazing writing skills, she is transferring all the information to the pages for us.

Top page twin sisters: So Saffron, Ballet Blue, and Certainly Celery. The peas are punch art that I CASEd from Andrea Walford's blog.

Middle page: Micky and Minnie are on the little girls dress, so once again Punch Art- these I came up with by myself.

Bottom Page: This paper was retired designer paper from a couple of years ago, It was a Progression page sample, if you look at the page you will see that the little boy is on a 6" x 6" page, that page was than mounted on a 8 1/2" x 11" page, and last it was placed on a 12" x 12" page, I used this in a scrap booking class that covered all 3 sizes.

Life has been a little crazy around here, but I am trying to catch up and will try to do better posting, so please stick with me.

CASEing from Ellen Kemper and a new Blog look

Ellen Kemper does amazing punch art, I did not have all of the punches she used on hers, so I made minor adjustments using what I have. My sons are now 13 and 15, these pictures are from the Halloween they were 4 months and 2 years old. For years Winnie Pooh and friends were a favorite of theirs for years. If you are interested in learning punch art I am having monthly classes, e-mail me for more information.

Punch Art- Scrapbook- Elephant Car Wash

This is a 6"x6" page, the last two were 12"x12". A simple page, but I thought an elephant spraying water worked, it wasn't until I posted this that I realized I left his tail off, I need to go back and fix this ;). The Elephant will be another punch art in the on going punch art class start next week. comment or e-mail me if you are interested in the class.

Colors used: Real Red, Bordering Blue, Basic Gray and Vellum.

Punch Art- Scrapbook- Bath Time

This is a picture of one of my boys and his cousin when they were two years old. They love bubble bath and with a jetted tub there were lots of bubbles! Because of the glare in the picture (it is not on the original, just on the picture of the page) you can not see that my son was pale blond and my niece was a pretty little red head.

The punch art is easy to do and I got the tub idea of our demonstrator site, the bubbles are vellum. This piece of art will be part of the ongoing Punch Art Class I am starting, if you are interested in the class let me know.

Punch Art- Scrapbook- Farm

I have had requests to start an ongoing punch art class that could be used in card making or scrapbooking. So I've been searching the web for ideas, my kids have even help and two have created art that will be used in some of the classes.

This page of my sons kindergarten field trip has 4 different punch art pieces on it. I'm not sure who to give credit to, because I have found so many that are similar to each other. I've added this page to my sample board to show what can be done with what is learned in class.
