The challenge this week is to pierce your paper. That’s it, no other rules. Any kind of piercing goes — simple lines, pierced scallops, fancy piercing with templates, anything at all — just poke some holes in your paper and have fun!!! You could even pierce with your sewing machine!!! Personally, I love to pierce — it’s so much fun and adds such interest. If you don’t have a piercer, try a T-pin, or even a larger safety pin — it’s fun!!! Try to remember our overall theme, and keep it simple!!!
Julie Koerber’s sample is on her blog here and it includes a fabulous tutorial. Be sure to check it out!

Really, really simple was all I had in me tonight, so I pulled out a pretty new image from SU, quickly colored it with ink refills and a blender pen. The DP is retired SU, not sure of the name — maybe Holiday Harmony??? The ribbon is retired SU as well. The set, Bloomin’ Beautiful, is in the current Occasions Mini — gorgeous set!!! Using my mat pack, I did some super simple piercing around the perimeter of the framed image. So simple to do, and it adds so much interest.
