Mr. Turtle

Aren’t the little punch turtles the cutest thing?

Many of you know how much I love my punches and I love to do punch art like this.  I found a demonstrator in Canada, Heather Summers, that apparently is like me and loves to do this to – so much so that she created an online class of punch projects and the little turtle was the first one.  As soon as I saw this little turtle yesterday I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.  Her turtle was on a card but mine needed to be on a scrapbook page.  Remember me telling you about how much I love to have animals in my backyard…well last summer we had a turtle that lived in the backyard for awhile – he spent much of his time under my hostas – and when he would come out the dogs would find him.  I think initially they expected it to run away like the chipmunks and squirrels do – but he just walked right along.  So one day I got out my camera to take pictures (actually I took pictures on more than one day) and these are some of them.  So this scrapbook page is for us to remember Mr. Turtle who eventually moved on out of our yard and out into the big world beyond our fence.

Colors are: Chocolate Chip, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White

I also used the Big Shot to create the title and the leaf accents.

I hope you like it!

Have a great day!

And yes we did have school today –  while other parts of Georgia all around us seemed to have some snow stick to the ground – we did not.  And the wind blew so strong that it dried up most of the moisture from the rain so there really wasn’t much ice here either.  So if you had a snow day today – enjoy it!  My boys were very disappointed – maybe next time.
