I recently received the most beautiful card from fellow SCSer Cherylquilts. In fact, I liked it so much I went on the hunt for the retired SU set Toile Blossoms. The set arrived in this week's mail (thank goodness that at least some of my trips to the mailbox yield results, eh Ben-Benzi?) and I think I'm going to have great fun with it. (Thanks to SCSer craf-tee for getting that set to me pronto...!)
Made up a quick birthday card for a friend with kraft and black and a little bit of colouring with my SU markers. Did some piercing in the corners of the image layer. There is a punched panel on the inside so as to avoid a run-in with the Punch Police...
Thanks for stopping by....thanks for the inspiration Cheryl... Hugz...
Punchez tally for the Punchkateerz Polize: only one
(but poking all those holes in nice straight lines has to count for something. After all, what is punching if it isn't poking holes in paper with sharpened metal objects?)

What a lovely CAS card, Izzy!! Your layout for this is just amazing. I'll have to keep it in mind. I'm totally on board with your considering paper piercing as "punching." It's all just poking holes!!! I like how you used your punchez on the inside. Very classy!! Great work

Just enough delicate colour to set off a simple colour scheme. I think those punched holes are worthy of something! Give her that one, you guys! Really pretty.
