Explore | Punches | Amy Kattenbelt

As you might have seen, this month over on UK Scrap Addicts we are using our punches to create our layouts. I don't own many punches, I prefer to use dies as they take up less storage space. However i do own a small selction of punches from when i first started scrapbooking. It was really fun to get them out and use them again. The Martha Stewart butterfly punch used to be one of my go to items and appears on my many of my older layouts.

Punches are great to be used on scraps. I have recently sorted out all my scraps into coloured bags, so i decided to make a rainbow layout.

Do check out my process video over on our YouTube channel to see this page being created.

 Thanks for reading, and do pop on over to our Facebook group where you can share all the layouts you create this month using punches.

Wipeout | Amy Kattenbelt | Small Photos

SO in this month of October, UK Scrap Addicts are working with the theme of 'small photos'. I decided for my layout i would create a grid style sketch to work with. Grid designs are a great way to use several small photos on one layout. I really hope you might give this sketch a go too. Using small photos is great when you are trying to tell a story, or when the photos you really want to document are low quality - in my case as the people were moving they were pretty blurry and couldn't have been printed in  a large size. Be sure to come and join us over on our Facebook page and share all your small photo creations with us!

You can see how the layout was create, in real time, over on our YouTube channel.
