Sunday Scrap - Fresh Air

Well today's Sunday Scrap page is from the May 09 Impressions newsletter, which is a newsletter Demonstrators get sent from Stampin' Up! full of great ideas with one being a 6x6 page using the Inspired by Nature stamp set. I have changed the colours to suit my photo and added a couple of vellum butterfly's embossed with the Big Shot. I then layered it onto 12x12 textured card and did a bit of piercing. The photo is of my daughter Rebecca when she was two years old. She's so cute!

Two Step Bird.

I love the new Extra Large Two Step Bird punch, he is so gorgeous. This is the stepped up version of the card we made at the Launch Party. I stamped on his wing with one of the images from Vintage Vogue set and added Crystal Effects. Also used the Top Note die, a button, jumbo brads and hardware.

We are off to playgroup today then to visit my Mum, we have three months of catching up to do.
