Border Punches

Hi! Thanks Amy for your comment! It's a slow process then I thought it would be, but I'm having fun with it. =)

Shopping went well if you call standing in line at Michaels for 30 minutes well.. Luckily I had coupons or else I would have put everything back. Next time will go an hour before they close. The lines aren't as bad. =)

I love punches! For this series of cards, 4 in all, I used two Martha Stewart border punches to use as frames. I used Izzy from the TGF Twinkle Tot series she is just too sweet! I also used Miss Anya and Rain from TGF for the other two cards. All 4 cards were very easy to make. I used a few sheets of dp, brown and white card stock, different colored cards and punched the borders using them as frames for each girl. Using copics to color each girl, the only problem I had was trying to figure out what colors I wanted to use..
"Whatcha Doin?"
