Here is my layout using the beautiful "Bunny Love"

Easter line from Best Creation and as you can see I used

this line to scrap some springtime photos of my little guy

playing in the puddles after a good spring rain. The paper

doily behind the photos is my punch technique to share

with you. I absolutely love paper doilies and I love even

more that I can create my own out of the pattern paper
of my choice to coordinate with my layouts and projects.

Here is how I do this:

1. The first thing I do is use my template to trace the lines

where I will be using my punch.

2. Next I cut the paper into a circle around the lines that

I just traced.

3. Last but not least, I center my punch on each long line

drawn from my template. You can also just measure about

one inch all the way around the edge of your circle then

connect those to the center point of your circle to draw the

lines if you do not have a template like mine.

And voila....you have yourself a paper doily!!!

Your letter is P

I hope that you liked my punch technique and that you'll

give this a try. Next up on the Blog Hop list is Julie Walton.

Have a wonderful Monday!
