In fact i described it as a 'make something from nothing' kind of a scrapbooker. When i say this i mean taking what i have and turning it into something else.
The things i use the most are my punches. Every time. Why?
Well i have scrapbooked for other people for so long, and sometimes all you get is some pattern paper and you have to put a page together. I learnt very early on that punches and templates where my friend.
It has shaped the way that i scrapbook over the last few years and now i find it very hard to scrapbook any other way.
I have a big draw full of templates, fiskars ones and the ones that i have cut out myself. I also have a little draw full of things that i use all the time...
So today we are going to have a comments give away. Leave a comment on my blog and i will pick someone to have a copy of all my little templates. It is that simple.
I have not had this blog up and running for a while so you should be in with a good chance of winning!!! lol!!!! I will leave it open to the end of the weekend.

Hi Wendy , I'm with you on this one as I have an ever growing collection of punches and I recently went mad with a border punches order at Papermaze. The next thing I was thinking of doing was to collect chipboard shapes just to use as templates as I already have some Crafters Workshop templates that I use. I don't think I have a style as such - like you I tend to use/adapt what I have and my first love is paper so I would much rather turn my scraps into an embelishment than use a ready made one. It also costs less - which means I can spend more on paper!
I think that describes you WELL - and I love your use of templates and punches, hun. That's what makes a page "wendyesque". :D
Hi Wendy, hope little one is feeling better today! I bought two flower punches from Papermaze recently, as I love your style, and how you can incorporate them into just about any layout, even the masculine ones! Now I find I am using them all the time!

How fun! I'd love to win!
I love how you use punches Wendy and it always inspires me to use my ever growing collection more.
I am so glad that you decided to blog again as I had missed your old blog.
I love your templates and what a cheaper way to add to any LO and the effect can look so much better than expensive embellishments.

I'm definitely the sort of scrapper who likes to make something out of nothing too! i can't remember the last time i bought a st of ready made embellishments! I love to cut out shapes and patterns and LAYER!
