Cardmaking Quick Tip

Hi all! I have a quick tip for you this morning for when you're making a card and covering the front with paper like I did with our new Mustache Birthday Card. 

I always cut my paper a 1/16 of an inch bigger than my card. This gives me a little bit of wiggle room when covering the cardstock. 

Add your adhesive to the back of the paper like you normally would. Now, instead of picking up the paper... pick up the card! 

Leaving the paper face down, turn your card face down and line up the edges. By using the backside, you can easily see that you are lined up all the way around before pressing down on your adhesive. 

So there you go, no more slanted papers!

I just got my weekly Scrapbook Etc. newsletter in my email box. I open it up, and the first thing I see is this fun paper birthday cake! How cute would this be as a decoration for a birthday party, or to put on a co-workers desk on their special day?

Love it!!!

Unique Birthday Present

Ok, so.... this year I am turning 30! Not until October, but don't tell anyone, because I refuse. I decided that I am going to stay 29 forever. I am going to just keep celebrating my 29th birthday year, after year, after year.

So even though I will never be able to receive this adorable gift, it definitely made me smile! I found this great idea over at Sisters' Stuff. Too, too cute!
