How about a cool technique this week? It's called eyelet doodling. Here's what you'll need:
2 pieces cardstock, with high contrast pencil hole punches in various sizes, 2 is okay - 3 is better
Step 1: Draw a doodle in pencil, lightly (or stamp on the back of your paper with a doodle stamp). It can be as simple or elaborate as you'd like. You can always practice on scraps, then trace your design on your good paper.
Step 2: With the largest hole punch, randomly punch large holes in your design.
Step 3: With the middle sized hole punch, punch holes in your design.
Step 4: With the smallest hole punch, finish putting holes in your design.
Step 5: Erase the remaining pencil lines, LIGHTLY, so as not to tear your paper.
Step 6: Take your coordinating cardstock and place behind your punched design.
TIP: Try not to punch the holes TOO closely, but spaced about evenly apart for the best result.

OOh, Peggy, LOVE this challenge! I've been in a rut and not getting much scrapping done but this is somehting I so want to try! I love the look you get..AWESOME!!
sorry you've been in a rut lately Donna. I've seen this done with awesome results - one page had a border with pics of their kid in one of those kiddy cars - looked like a crazy driver thing, the possibities are endless.
I know - I can't believe how long it's been since I've done a challenge! {head hanging} I have done a couple of 12x12 albums for family members (sans photos) and used the sketch challenges and Sally's sketches for the layouts, but no pics on them, so didn't upload them.
do you have any doodle stamps? stamp on the back of your paper and use it as a pattern or stamp on a piece of scrap paper, punch it then use a pencil and mark your holes.

Lol, as always...I got my page done! Now if I can just get the sun to cooperate tomorrow morning I'll get it uploaded. I try and try to take pictures inside and still haven't found a lighting source that does a good job. LOVED this challenge and had a blast! Thanks!
