<brenda> I DID CARDSTOCK ON THE CORNER BOOKMARK

<MaggieB> what do you do about the prepasted?

<brenda> BUT FOR THE MATCHBOOK NO

<Lib> OK

<brenda> I USED THE BORDER PASTE FOR WALLPAPER BORDERS

<scout> Brenda, how do you get it to bend good? I get it all the time at garage sales, but find it hard to crease well, enenwith the bone folder.

<MaggieB> lol

<kat> wb ss

<brenda> I USE CARDSTOCK VERY RARELY IF I CAN AVOID IT

<MaggieB> http://cyberstampers.com/romance/index.html

<MaggieB> ok

<Lib> you can use one of those little clover irons to crease thick paper, too- just move it a lot to not scorch

<MaggieB> so do you score it first?

<brenda> YES

<nancyvt> howdy!

<brenda> EVERYTHING IS SCORED AHEAD OF TIME

<brenda> THERE IS THREE TEMPLATES HERE

<MaggieB> ty brenda

<magnolia> what is a clover iron

<anno> (grrrrrrring is unprofessional I guess)

<Kaye> i was wondering that too

<MaggieB> http://cyberstampers.com/romance/template.html

<brenda> ONE IS FOR THE MINI NOTEBOOKS I DID FOR THE BENEFIT

<Rusty> not for tiggers

<Lib> Hi Nancy

<MaggieB> [i guess anno]

<Lib> clover iron is bitty iron quilters use

<brenda> ONE IS FOR CORNER BOOKMARKS

<brenda> ONE IS FOR MATCHBOOKS

<brenda> THE MATCH BOOKS COULD BE USED FOR A WEDDING

<nancyvt> howdy, just trying to get to the examples

<brenda> THE NOTEBOOKS COULD ALSO

<kat> hi nancy

<MaggieB> you mean like the corner cut off of envelopes for bookmarks?

<nancyvt> hi kat!

<brenda> THIS PLATE HAS DIFFERENT SIZES OF THE SAME IMAGE

<brenda> SO YOU COULD MAKE IT FIT THE SIZE YOU NEED

<brenda> AND TIE IT ALL TOGETHER

<brenda> YES MAGGIE

<kat> hi stampress

<brenda> HEY DONNA

<MaggieB> plate is at http://www.aasimagick.com/details.asp?product_id=PX070

<stampress> hi gals

<stampress> I thought I would stop in......I need a little romancing

<brenda> I SAW THIS PLATE AND DECIDED IT WAS PERFECT FOR SO MANY OCCASIONS

<brenda> LOL DONNA

<nancyvt> hehe, i think this may be the wrong group for that!

<MaggieB> the plate is found at http://www.aasimagick.com/details.asp?product_id=PX070

brenda HUGS DONNA

<brenda> LTNS

<cak> I love the matchbook idea--I keep running across it and don't ever do anything with it

<stampress> thank you brenda, I needed that

<brenda> YW

<brenda> THE MATCHBOOKS ARE SO QUICK AND EASY

<brenda> IT WAS JUST A LITTLE STRAIGHT CUTTING AND THEN FOLDING

<brenda> STAPLE THE PAGES

<nancyvt> i haven't done them yet - but the results are really nice! my friend mary has been using them as a holder for her pins, they just present so well

<brenda> OR YOU COULD DO IT LIKE LORY DOES AND GLUE THEM IN NICE AND PRETTY

<cak> fabulous idea!

<brenda> AND MAKE A CUTE STOCKING STUFFER

<brenda> PRACTICAL IDEA

<nancyvt> yep, it really saves them from be crushed too

<brenda> THE TEMPLATES ARE SELF EXPLANATORY FOR THE FOLD LINES

<scout> all I can see are two templates, the oblong one and the trianglepointy one?

<brenda> FOLD ON THE DOTTED LINES

<brenda> THE OTHER ONE ISNT THERE????/

<brenda> I WILL GET JANET TO ADD IT

<MaggieB> http://cyberstampers.com/romance/template.html

<brenda> I JUST GOT THE PAGE RIGHT BEFORE CLASS

<brenda> ANY QUESTIONS

<Kaye> what template is missing

<brenda> A MININOTEBOOK

<Kaye> cool i want that one too

<brenda> IT IS VERY EASY TO DO ALSO

<brenda> ALL IN ONE PIECE

<brenda> SO YOU DONT HAVE TO PUNCH HOLES OR SEW

<Kaye> one piece

<brenda> THE TEMPLATE

<Kaye> you must explain

<brenda> IT JUST FOLDS UP

<brenda> TO SLIDE THE NOTEBOOK INTO

<Kaye> what size notebook

<brenda> LIKE A 5X6 PAD

<Kaye> like the small spirals

<brenda> I BELIEVE IS WHAT IT WAS

<brenda> NOT SPIRAL

<cak> a mini-legal pad?

<brenda> THE ONES THAT JUST ARE GLUED WITH A CARDBOARD BACK

<brenda> SMALLER CAK

<Kaye> oh

<Kaye> scribble pad

<cak> (micro-legal pad????)

<brenda> I GET THEM AT BIG LOTS

<brenda> 6 TO A PACK FOR $.79

<brenda> THAT IS IT KAYE

<brenda> SOME HAVE LINES AND SOME DONT

<cak> And it's re-usable (since you don't glue it in)?

<brenda> YOU CAN ADJUST THE SIZE FOR WHAT EVER NOTEBOOK YOU WANT TO MAKE

<brenda> RIGHT CAK

<cak> Yay!

<Kaye> great little gift

<Debbie> how long will the templates be up?

<brenda> VERY GOOD GIFT
