punchies

[sexymummie]

i've got over 30+ punchies & just looking 4 other ideas to use them, as currently most of my LO's * layouts* have at least one in the pic somewhere. so far ive put them around frames, used them as borders,made a few cards, used them in a name...so hope u can help me with my dramas fellow scrappers :D by the way, does anyone know what a tag board is ?:blah: :blah:

[Leanne]

is tag board something to do with scrapping ?

[Leanne]

this is what i found


Tagboards are miniature message boards that web pages utilize for quick communication. They are much like Instant Messengers, only all messages go directly to the site. A user types in their message and it is added instantly (through a feature called "auto-refresh") onto the board, allowing chat and comments to take place without wasting forum space.

from what i just read, a tag board is something you can punch your punchies on. kinda like a foam board i think, sorry lea its a sort of scrapping thing. but thanks for looking 4 me & any punchie ideas while ur online surfing around hehehehe"yay"

Here are some great ideas to get you started and keep in mind that the larger sized punched pieces make great title/tile pieces for your layouts. Be sure to use a variety of sizes for all of the shapes listed below:

Circles: every sports ball imaginable, a ton of food ideas such as candy, cookies, pizza, tacos, grapes, oranges, berries, watermelon, apples, fun stuff like bubbles, wheels, eyes, faces, balloons, flowers, animals, teddy bears, owls, frogs, rabbits, caterpillars, bunny tails, paw prints, the sun, the moon, a wreath, ornaments, Christmas lights -- and SO much more.

Squares: gifts or presents, books, building blocks or ABC and 123 blocks.

Ovals: Animal bodies including a bear, bumble bee or cat, wings, flower petals, leaves, heads, shoes, Easter eggs, Christmas lights -- you name it!

Rectangles: combine to make cute trains, piano keys, books of all sizes, cut thin to make stems, flower boxes, cards, body parts such as the torso, arms or legs, you can even make Legos if you just use your imagination.

Hearts: shamrocks and flowers, lips, cut them to make wings or arms and legs, cut them to make patchwork hearts, strawberries, carrots, use on all kinds of themed pages from love to engagement to wedding to baby.

Stars: of course they make for a great night scene, combine them for a fireworks scene and you have a great 4th of July layout, a sheriff's badge, birthday layouts, make arrows, leaves and flower pedals, a flag -- you name it!

Bears: dress them up for any occasion by adding bows, collars, dresses, shirts, pj's, even a bathing suit, great for baby or child layouts, birthday's, gingerbread men or snowmen and the sitting down bear makes a great Winnie the Pooh.

Spirals: great for hair, antennae's, tongues, tails, flower vines and stems, great for birthday or any party themed page and use them for fireworks too.

Leaves: flowers and plants, vines, cut them to make wings, flames for your campfire, a pile of them for your Fall fun designs -- and much more!
