Today I am sharing this card I made for this month's Fall Color Design Team Challenge at Just Imagaine/Kreaxions Punches. I started out by embossing some craft cardstock and then using my Kreaxions 903 punch with the C insert to create the perfect corner punch for my journaling block. I love how many options you have with each punch!
