Look Margie, I did it!


Wondering about the title? Well If you remember I've been complaining about those MS border and corner punches since I got them. I've wasted tons of paper screwing them up so my dear friend Margie made me a personal video (making fun of me all the way) on how to successfully punch a rectangle. WOOHOO! I finally did it! (It still took several tries, I swear the spider web punch is the trickiest, LOL but THANKS MARGIE!) Another first, I finally got the Printmaster program for our new computer and was able to CHANGE the COLOR of my Halloween Long Border stamp from the Cutting Cafe. (It's PURPLE, in case the pic isn't too clear on that) Resized it too, but I already knew how to do that. Instructions for this are on The Cutting Cafe site so now the possibilities truly ARE endless for ALL of Regina's fabulous designs. New stuff is being added daily so be sure and stop by The Cutting Cafe. Believe it or not I made this card BEFORE breakfast! The stamped image is from a Stampin'Up big wheel, I used distress inks to shade and rain dots to embellish. WooHoo! I feel good! (da da da da da da da!)
