No, thankfully,
not a stumbled upon as in an accident...
but rather one of those things that was really a
"WELL, DUH----
why didn't I think of that/realize that before?!"
kind of stumbled upon.
Our groupies are doing the CTMH Footloose Workshop on the Go layout
for our class Tuesday night.
This particular layout
 |
doesn't hold many photos...
some of our gals like a lot of photos on page
so my first effort was to incorporate more and larger photos.
I did that.
Then today
since I have an extra paper pack
I said well--let me do the layout like it shows in the instructions...
(as shown above...)
so I was working away...
and I had my base paper down on this...
I LOVE my Score Pal---
and the fact that that mat fits right in there and you can do
just about anything on it...well!
And then I discovered hey-I can MEASURE my layout pieces
just by using the Score Pal...
The dp strip--goes right at 3"---line it up at the top
tape it down, slide that base page up a hair
and you can line it up the exact same way at the bottom!!!
That green mat?
In the pic below--
it goes at 1 1/4"---
gee-look at that-match it up-stick it down
AND
because the base page is flush with the side of the Score Pal-
just match up your layered piece as well-so it's all straight!!!
OH YEAH!
Doing my happy dance here--but wait---
IT GOT BETTER!
I had to line up a title panel--a PIECED title panel...
so ok-I have marks on either side---but I need a little help with the middle
that a little over 12" ancient ruler I had...
sat right across that Score Pal---
and gave me a "line" to lay my letters along...
GO ME!!!
The Score Pal just took the pain out of measuring!
Seriously-I just stumbled upon this!
If you knew it-wait, wait-don't tell me!
(really-I only listen to Garrison Keillor-Prarie Home Companion on NPR!
well-and sometimes Fatback Folk Hour!)
Don't burst my bubble!
I am so psyched
I am off to do the companion layout!
Until next time-
happy stamping and scrapping!
Blessings,
