Designer: Susan Weinroth

Use your Fiskars tools to set the “mood” for your layout, as I did here!  Use my design as a sample to go “vertical” with the Making Waves squeeze punch for a funky border, or create a “classic” seascape scene with the Boundary Waters border punch and Ultra Shape Xpress tool with circle template plus pinking paper edgers…
