Challenge #29: Punch you out!

Cirlce, square, rectangle, tab, flower, foot, leaf, tree, soccer ball, they made some seriously good punches back in the day...and you had every single one of them. But my guess is you used them once if at all, right? Now here's your chance!

Dig 'em on out and use at least three punches on one layout; get crafty, get creative, get punchy! OK, that was pretty sad. But not as sad as those poor punches laying around collecting dust! Show us what you got!

And PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE remember to let us know where you're posting your layout. Feel free to add it to the slideshow, but also remember to at least leave us a few bread crumbs to find your blog or something so we can come visit you and your punch-tastic layout! OK, where is Greta? She's going to be mad at me for being soooo dumb on this post.

(have a good one! --karen a.k.a. liz:) )

Challenge #11: Tool-tally Cool

I love tools.
Crafty tools that is.
Paper Crimpers, Cropadile, Sizzix...I love them all.
When I see a new gadget, I just love seeing what it can do.
Of course it may only be useful to me about 3 times, but I still feel like I have to have it.

So bust out those tools!
And actually use them.
This week's challenge is to use 2 or more tools on your page, card or project.
So pull out that Basic Grey notch maker thingy, grab your cuttlebug and finally use that Heidi Swapp mini iron....and make something fabulous!

Be sure to post the links to your tool-tally cool projects in the comment section and thanks for joining in the fun!

I used the Making Memories Tag Maker-I think that I have had this for 3-4 years now? At least for a while, and I actually had to take it out of the package and read the directions. I do a Title page for my albums so this worked for that, I made sure that I used lots of those silver rings since I now had them out of the package.

Cricut and HS mini Iron:
I was dreading this layout like I dread seeing the in-laws...{deep sigh}
I HAVE to have all these fabulous tools and go to great lenghts to get them but when it comes to using them I can't be bothered. I've had my cricut and 5 cartridges now for 2+ years and have used it a total of 3 times {GASP!} the horror i know! Now moving on to the iron...would it be bad if i said i have had this for about 2 years as well and NEVER used it? The only thing i have done with this cute little thing is plug it in..until now...i finally ironed out some ribbon and it is now back in my medium size tool drawer. ;)

Simone's:
For this one I used my Sizzix to cut out the flowers from Chatterbox pattern paper and used my Cropadile to set those eyelets but I realized that I broke my Cropadile so they are a little wonky.
Has anyone else broke the little piece on the Cropadile that holds the eyelet?
I also used my Bind It All to make my kraft cardstock look like the red paper from Creative Cafe.
