The Observation Car

I am so excited to have a blog where I can keep you up to date on trends in papercrafting more often than every three months!  Thanks to my son, Troy and husband, Ken for helping me get started.

I’ve noticed that stitching on paper has become very popular.  Now, I’m a retired home ec teacher, but I HATE to sew!  The Scor-pal, Scor-bug embosser, and a fine tip pen or gel-pen can give “the look” of sewing without threading a bobbin.  Just score the edges of the paper with the embosser and connect the dots with a pen for faux stitching.  The Scor-pal and accessories should be in the store by the end of this month for you to purchase.  We also plan to put it on our on-line store.  Here are two projects using this technique:
