This is for the Jan Page Maps Etc Challenge Sketch #3 and also for the Jan Four Categories Challenge - category 3-Technique(Punching) with the *twist* to distress the punching.

Family photo take on Thanksgiving 2011. TFL :}

I used both sides of the cardboard, the smooth side you pull off and the ridges side, also use old dictionary pages for the scallop circles & butterfly.
