P is for Punching your 'art out!

This month we are scraplifting the work of the talented Laura Buckingham. (See her blog - Lazy Dynamics.) Laura was taught this layout at The Cardinal Colours Retreat last September, it was great fun to create, so we decided to share her ideas here. Lots of different border punches were used on these layouts.

About Laura: "Hai, I'm Laura. I am 28 and just recently got married *yay* I live with my husband in London and generally spend my time wishing I had more time to be a crafty, scrappy type. I like donkeys, cheese, llamas, lolcats, mushrooms and scrapbooking.

I wish I had a pony, but I don't. I wish I liked tea or coffee, but I don't."

From Laura's blog entry about the retreat where she says: "The second layout I taught was all about being BOLD and ways to use a sharpie pen in your scrapbooking. Every class member was given a permanent sharpie pen as part of the class kit and we journalled on our photos, outlined our thickers and used the pen to add details across the page. This page used the very bold but ultimately gorgeous vibrant colours of the Cosmo 'delovely' range... plus a couple of Jennie Bowlin butterflies thrown in for good measure!"

This is the sketch we have made from Laura's layout.
