Back to Basics

Today is one of my favorite days of the month -- the 5th for our SCS Crafty Girls Blog Hop!  WooHoo!   Unfortunately, this is not the card I wanted to show off today.   I'm   s-t-i-l-l   traveling and I must have photo'd my card and switched camera cards because it's no where to be found.   Our challenge this month was to use punches in creative ways!  What a great challenge and I can't wait to show you the card I did.  How fun to add more than one.  I can admit that the first punches I ever owned were CM Square and Circle Punches and I held out what now seems like forever with just those punches only.  I still use them constantly especially the circles.  What was your first punch?   I must also admit I now have a large collection of punches and most of them are well used,  especially the edge punches.  Crazy Fun :)   This card sketch is a Mojo Monday Sketch.

  4. My first punch was a little apple from Stampin' Up. I have no idea what I thought I was going to do with it, but I still have it somewhere. Goodness, that was a long time ago! Thanks for that wander down stamping memory lane :)

  9. How colorful and fun! Terrific shapes and layers! I don't remember my first punch, but I do know that I need a better system for storage. Either that or stop buying them!

  12. Great colorful card! I have tons of CM punches to! Use them all the time. My first punch was some HUGE, clunky square punch! It was so heavy and I had to stand up and put all my weight on that thing to use it! Lol! I can't even remember the brand...

  14. I love everything about this card from the colors to the texture to the desing. My first punch was a small heart punch. I too have used the CM punches. I used to own all of them, but I always came back to the square punches.
