Curly Label Punch Does It Again!

Hello sweet friend...  I must tell you or perhaps it's 'admit to you' that I am not a scrapbooker.  Plain and simple.  Creating a scrapbook page from scratch perplexes me & brings me out of my comfort zone.  And WHY?   I tell my wonderful customers that scrapbook pages are just like a great big card, but it still scares me a little bit.  But... I'm learning, one small step at a time. 

One of my secrets to getting the job done and looking pretty, is to use punches.  This page features the first punch that I added to my collection... the Curly Label Punch.  This 'girl' has saved me countless times and made me look classy, cool and pretty darm good!

Check out this little tip that I discovered for framing my photos using the Curly Label Punch. 
Note this 'old, but still sweet' summer pic of my kids from way back when.  There's a pretty little red scalloping behind them that features the picture and makes it almost pop off the page.  That's the Curly Label Punch! Take a peek at the back of the photograph; I simply lined the punched out shape along the back edge of the pic.  

"Behind the scenes!"

Is it a blooper?  Nope!  
See the weird shaped label punch on the top middle left?  Well... I was using scrap, because I could (!) and my one label punch came out without a bottom corner.  It was easy for me, this very Type A gal to overlook that, cause I was never going to notice it again. Scraps make your paper go a long way :)
