Christmas Blues
A lot, maybe most people listen to Christmas music when making Christmas Cards. Me? I'm listening to a playist consisting of Imagine Dragons, Bruno Mars, Train, Katy Perry. lol! And... alllll the Christmas cards on my workspace are done in blues. I wonder what a psychologist would say about that? I'm very happy, lovin' life and God, so grateful for all He has done for me.

New Paper Trimmer Now Available
I love mine and your will too. It's a great product at an awesome price.
I'm still making wreaths from the Beautiful Boughs dies. This time I use some coordinating DSP from the Toile Tidings package to frame it, and added some vellum behind. I like this much better as than the previous cards I made because it gives more definition to the wreath. Don't you just love the 'snow' made with Frost White Shimmer paint and a sponge?

Card Ministry
Card Ministry at St. John's met yesterday and we had such fun together as usual. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful group of ladies! I shared a sweet story with them from the wife of a retired Coast Guard officer. He received a birthday card fromt the church staff that was done with the Sailing Home stamp set. It was so appropriate and signed by the ministers and staff. He still has it proudly displayed on their mantle. I love hearing that our craft generates smiles!

Daisy Lane
I got this set for my Niece's wedding, as she had daisies and roses. I was making a sign for to go with the Jenga pieces to serve as an alternative to a guest book. I liked this layout but it wasn't right for the wedding, so I used it n a card:)

Just In: New Paper Trimmer Available to Customers on November 1, 2019
How Does This NEW and Improved Trimmer Compare With Our Old Trimmer?
Just In: New Paper Trimmer Available to Customers on November 1, 2019
Our newly designed Paper Trimmer is
lightweight, portable, and perfect for making stable and straight
cuts!
Paper Trimmer $25.00
- 15-3/8 x 8 x 1/2” (39 x 20.3 x 1.3 cm)
- Includes 1 cutting blade and 1 scoring blade.
- Includes imperial and metric measurements.
- Ruler and grid protected by durable plastic cover.
- Point on cutting handle for precise measuring.
- Right-side grid for cutting thin strips.
Multipack Cutting Blades $12.00
- Each Cutting Blades Multipack unit contains four blades.
- The metal blades piece is significantly longer than the old one;
- The weight is much lighter than the old one; It's about an inch narrower;
- It has an opening at one end, a kind of diamond shape that would allow it to be hung for storage;
- The cutting guide snaps down to hold it closed for locking instead of a slide button on the end to lock it;
- The extension arm does not need a "foot" to keep it steady when extended;
- The ETxtension arm, when in closed position allows paper to butt against it at the 6" mark which is great for measuring smaller pieces;
- The 6" position on the rule mark has a little arrow pointing at the 6" line so it is very clear where the measurement is, making the jump from the board onto the extension arm easier to read for more accuracy;
- The extension arm locks into place by pressing down slightly and moving it into a grove at the tip of the arm near the SU logo;
- The "pressure lip" of the cutting guide is in a better position to prevent the blade getting "stuck" when pressing down to hold paper in place for cutting;
- The scoring blade has a better scoring implement on it so scoring is very smooth (you can't event tell you are scoring!) and it gives a better score line, but is less likely to cause certain DSP to tear after scoring;
- It's very streamlined and because of its even rectangular design it will be much easier to pack and fit into a storage space in a more compact way;
- There is an edge all across the top, which really helps when cutting small pieces accurately:
TIP: When you cut cardstock, if
you push the blade down very hard as it is drug through the paper, it
leaves a ridge on the edge. However if you cut and just gently drag
the blade through the piece of paper and it cuts beautifully and
there will be no ridge on the edge. So just use your blade gently you
don’t have to press down really hard.
