Lasting Memories Challenge #41 "Background Paper using Punches"

Good morning crafters

I am a designer over at Lasting Memories and this week's challenge was to create your own background paper using punches.  Whew!!!  I created some, but it was only by trial and error...hahaha.  Nothing happened as planned, but here is a run down of what I did.

First I punched snowflakes out of scrap paper
and then used both the negative and positives.
I used the Martha Stewart around the page punch
to create this cool border.  I borrowed this from my
neighbor down the street and really didn't want
to give it back to her...hehehe 
I also borrowed her anywhere on the page punch
I inked up my brayer and ran it over the
the cut outs
It gave it a really cool look. 
Here is the entire paper and here is the layout.
 
These pictures where taken from my back porch a couple of winters ago. 
I've been meaning to scrap them for a long time, and I am
so glad I got a chance to make my own paper.

I am so glad that I got onto this Design Team.  It's been so much fun and inspiring.  Somewhat challenging at times, but I would not have done some of these pages, so I am very pleased.  Now get out some punches and create your own background paper.
