One Word One Technique # 35

Hi everyone,
Time again to share with you all my take on this months 
For a reminder of how 'One Word, One Technique' works, click here for Maxine's introduction.

This months Technique-Punches
          word prompt - Laugh

Here is another entry into my little old book ...
I pulled together paints,paste,chipboard alphas,MTE stamps,glossy accents,Distress ink pads,Distress ink,stapler,old tags from bought clothing{i save everything}and my heart punch.

The quote "Live Well,Laugh often,Love much" is one that to me should sum up our lives...i switched the sequence up a little so that i could have laugh as the starting point.

I hope this inspires you to have a go and please let us know if you do so we can pop along to your blog and leave some love.

Till next time

One Word One Technique #34




For a reminder of how 'One Word, One Technique' works, click here for Maxine's introduction.
The prompt for wk 34:
Technique - Punching
Word - Passion


Punches are one of my go-to tools and are a fantastic way to transform the look of patterned paper & cardstock and  a good way to use up your scraps! On my page I've used a zig zag edge punch with cardstock and worked it into my design with patterned paper strips and ribbon. 


I've been hoarding this product since 2007! But using the zig zag punch has brought the page up to date with modern trends. I hope this inspires you to give your border punches a work out.

OWOT!

One Word One Technique #33

Hi everyone,
time for another One Word One Technique
For a reminder of how 'One Word, One Technique' works, click here for Maxine's introduction.
The prompt for wk 33:
Technique - Punching
Word - Fiery

Hi everyone it's Annie here with this weeks OWOT! I have to admit I had to look up the definition of the word fiery as I had a vague idea of it's meaning, but wasn't 100% sure. So I printed out the definition and used this as a starting point for my page, which started life as a piece of A5 cream cardstock.

I then gathered some papers that had an orange, brown and red colour theme running through them to emphasise the passion side of the word. I don't own too many punches, but with the ones I had I used them to add a background and little dots of colour through the page. I loved the way the negative hearts looked on the orange paper and used this in the centre of the page. I used a small circle punch to make a border of half circles near the top. I really just played with the shapes and colours until I was happy with the page!

I hope this will inspire you to get those punches out, especially if you never use them and just have fun with them!

Annie x
