After attending the Central Penn Crop and preparing for the Hagerstown SDV, I got into a scrapping mood. Then a couple of folks e-mailed me about the mini Magnolia stamps and I came up with this 8″x8″ page. The word stamp is from JustRite and the little girl is from Magnolia stamps. By the way, they are an angel company and you can use their stamps to make items to sell. I colored with Copic markers. I like the look of stitching on the tag, but it is faux! I ran the edges on the Scor-Pal to make holes with the Scor-Bug. Then I connected the dots with a pen to look like thread. May Arts ribbon tops off the tag. All paper is from Stamp Express quality cardstock. You can find all the products we used at our on-line store.

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:
