And the winner of the Punch Challenge is....

Thanks so much everyone for your entries in the little competition I held this week. I loved getting lots of emails and comments and it was so much fun that I think I'll have to do another one really soon... Hmmm what can I give away this time? I'll have a little think and post something new...

In the meantime I need to announce this week's winner. Congratulations go to....

Robyn, if you would like to contact me at higgiz@ bigpond.com and I'll get your details and organise to send you your prize. You also need to let me know which inkpad colour or Punch you would like to get, so you might need to have a little think about it!

So what was the correct answer? I used the Slit Punch under the ribbon, the Word Window Punch at top left for the Words, and the Round Tab Punch to make the large circle for the Dragonfly. Would you believe that I had nearly 30 entries for this little comp, but only 8 people guessed correctly. See, I told you it might not be what you think! :)

So here's a quick little tutorial on how to get the Round Tab Punch to make a large circle...

1. Position your Round Tab Punch where you want your circle to be. (Note that when you are punching it's always a good idea to hold the punch upside down... that way you can see exactly where you are punching and line it up perfectly)






















2. Now turn your punch (or paper) so that you now have the punch at right angles to where you originally punched, line the curve of the punch carefully up with the first punched outline and punch again...

















3. Voila! You now have a large circle which is bigger than any of the standard circle punches available from SU. I've used this a few times lately and it is very cool :)




I hope you all enjoyed this challenge! I did :) Now that you know how, you'll have to get your Round Tab Punches to work! (Did you also know that the Round Tab Punch can be used to make brackets and parenthesis?)

Happy Stamping!
