Catching Up With (old) Friends

Well, maybe not so much of the old!!!

I hadn't seen my friend Sylvia since we left Perth over 15 years ago, so it was a wonderful surprise to see her pull into our driveway behind me one day last year! It was so good to see her after all that time! This is a page I scrapped of the two of us the night she was here:

I pulled out all my punches and dies to create the embellishments for this page - I had so much fun! I used the scallop punches and the Flower Folds Bigz Die to create the flowers (except for the white flowers - they are paper daisies).

The leaves were made using the Leaves #2 die that were then run through the  Square Lattice embossing folder (just love the folder!!). I didn't have quite the right size large scallop circle die to matt my large circles onto, so  I  used the scallop border punch to punch along one long edge of A4 cardstock, trimmed it down to about 1/2 inch in width, then cut in between each scallop. That allows you to bend the border around the circle.  Here is a little sample of how the scallop edge looks once you have cut in to  it:

Then all you do is apply sticky strip around the outside edge of your circle and adhere the scallop trim, turning as you go. Easy to do and allows you to matt pretty much any size circle!!

Here is a list of the tools & supplies used on this layout:

• Large scallop Circle punch
