Weekend Creative : February #2 : punch collage

Super glad you shared this, in fact I did 2 of these this weekend. Love the idea.

I love your weekend creative. I have loads of punches I use them mainly for card making although I try to remember them when scrapbooking. I made a little collage with a small daisy punch. The added bonus was how I noticed the patterns of the papers I chose when they were punched out. Just goes to show how looking at something in a different way extends possibilites. Thanks Ali.

I was so inspired I made one too. I don't have the butterfly or hearts so I used the old SU! daisy punch. I found myself using the punch like a little flower shaped camera lens. I enjoyed choosing where and how to punch very carefully to get just the effect I wanted. Thank you again for all your inspiration.

BEAUTIFUL, I have too many punches to mention, but my favourites are the butterflies. I am craving those Martha ones!

Wow. How stunningly simple yet beautiful.

Absolutely amazing

I just HAVE to tell you! I bought your book "A designer's eye for scrapbooking" the other day. I've read the whole thing through, couldn't put it down, and I love it! Great inspiration in do many ways. I've just recentley started developing my skills as a scrapbooker and for once I am proud over my word. I have thousands of ideas on what to scrapbook now that I've read your book as well. In a few weeks I will also buy "Life artist". Thank you for the inspiration :)

Ali, that is fabulous. I absolutely love how simple it is to do, but the result is stunning!!!

I got the butterfly punch last night! Can't wait for some 'free time' to use it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you for this great idea. The day I saw it, I went out there and looked for the butterfly punch. I did mine on a canvas. I painted the backgroud and used the foam dots and I will buy a black frame for it this weekend and hang in my daughter's room. The next project is the airplane punch for my son's room. Thanks again. Have a great week.

VERY cool project--so simple but what a nice outcome!

I can't wait to try this project. Thank you so much for the inspiration!

This is lovely, Ali! Thanks for the reminder that simple is beautiful!! Have a blessed day! Roben-Marie :)

Thanks for the inspiration. I made a hearts collage. http://scrap4fun.blogspot.com/2008/02/happy-valentines-day.html

Ali, that butterfly collage is a fabulous idea. I never liked the specimen shadow boxes with the real butterflies in them because I felt bad about the poor butterflies. But your take on it is beautiful.

I just found your blog on recommendation from Google reader. I'm hooked and now have to go out and buy this punch. I, too, am addicted to punches. Thanks for the great idea. This will look nifty in my darling daughter's bathroom!
