Ok so awhile back I showed a layout I made with a scaloped boarder. I said I would post how it was made.

So your corner rounder typicaly just snips off the end of your paper.

Well if you gently pull off the guide you can use the corner rounder to do an edge

The trick is to start at the end of the paper and leave just a little space you clip the paper all along and make sure to keep the space.

When your all done you get a great scalloped boarder.

Here it is on a little card. I hope you like it. If you have questions please ask. Thanks

I wanted to help make some cards for the troops they asked for non-discript cards that could be sent. I used some scraps to make a card I thought might masculine enough for guy to use. I used the cuttle bug embossing folder to make the background and then I inked it all over.

I did it!

I did it I learned to stitch and thread on my sewing machine!.. this is my first little try. My husband found me a video that showed me how to thread my machine and then it was off to try it on cardstock. I love the way this card looks.
One little tip if you are not sure about your threading skills then assemble the elements separate of the card then glue it on the front of the card base.

Going green for Halloween

Hello again,
I made a Halloween card because I had these Hero Arts stamps that I just had to have and I have never used them. I don't typically send Halloween cards but who could resist some cutie owl goodness.
Today's tip is to use packaging to create accents or background paper. In this card I used the paper that came with the lasting impressions template/paper pack. It looks cute with this card and its one less thing for the landfill. Sometimes scrapbook product packaging is as cute as the product inside.
