I have never heard of the term Steampunk before! Very challenging to sit down and create a scrapbook pages using that theme. I had to do some major research first and came across a few layouts that I mixed together to create this one. Since I was unsure if my ideas would work I turned to My Digital Studio so that way if I made a mistake I could just undo!

My nephew turned 5 last week! He is growing up so fast! This card is case'd from someone but unfortuantely I forgot to write down which blog I saw it on, thank you for this adorable idea! I had no idea what to make for him, but Punch Art to the rescue! At this age though I doubt he really paid any attention to the card, he passed it to his father to open while he went to attack the present!
